Abstract

We prove that for an arbitrarily small constant \eps>0,\eps>0, assuming NP⊈\not \subseteqDTIME(2logO(1/\eps)n)(2^{{\log^{O(1/\eps)} n}}), the preprocessing versions of the closest vector problem and the nearest codeword problem are hard to approximate within a factor better than 2log1\epsn.2^{\log ^{1-\eps}n}. This improves upon the previous hardness factor of (logn)δ(\log n)^\delta for some δ>0\delta > 0 due to \cite{AKKV05}.
