We review a recent proposal of necessary and sufficient conditions for state-independent contextuality (SIC) based on Linear Programming [1]. We show that such an approach fails to exclude many invalid scenarios, and thus it gives only necessary conditions.

We present a general solution of the problem, i.e., necessary and sufficient conditions for SIC, based on semidefinite programming, and discuss its relation with previous results. Moreover, we prove Yu and Oh’s conjecture [2] on the simplest state-independent contextuality scenario
