Abstract

This paper explores computational methods for solving the Longest Vector Problem (LVP) and Closest Vector Problem (CVP) in pp-adic fields. Leveraging the non-Archimedean property of pp-adic norms, we propose a polynomial time algorithm to compute orthogonal bases for pp-adic lattices when the pp-adic field is given by a minimal polynomial. The method utilizes the structure of maximal orders and pp-radicals in extension fields of Qp\mathbb{Q}_{p} to efficiently construct uniformizers and residue field bases, enabling rapid solutions for the LVP and CVP. In addition, we introduce the characterization of norms on vector spaces over Qp\mathbb{Q}_p.
