Abstract

We present an algorithm to find an integral vector in the polyhedral cone Γ={XAX0}\Gamma=\{X | \textbf{A}X \leq \textbf{0}\}, without assuming the explicit knowledge of A\textbf{A}. About the polyhedral cone, Γ\Gamma, it is only given that, (i) the elements of \textbf{A} are in {d,d+1,.˙.,0,.˙.,d1,d}\{-d,-d+1,\...,0,\...,d-1,d\}, dNd \in \mathbb{N}, and, (ii) Y=[y(1),y(2),.˙.,y(n)]Y=[y(1),y(2),\...,y(n)] is a non-zero integral solution to Γ\Gamma. The proposed algorithm finds a non-zero integral vector in Γ\Gamma such that its maximum element is less than (2d)2n11/2n1{(2d)^{2^{n-1}-1}}/{2^{n-1}}.
