A fundamental computational problem is to find a shortest non-zero vector in Euclidean lattices, a problem known as the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP). This problem is believed to be hard even on quantum computers and thus plays a pivotal…
In this work, we propose an outer approximation algorithm for solving bounded convex vector optimization problems (CVOPs). The scalarization model solved iteratively within the algorithm is a modification of the norm-minimizing…
Recent work [BGS17,ABGS19] has shown SETH hardness of CVP in the $\ell_p$ norm for any $p$ that is not an even integer. This result was shown by giving a Karp reduction from $k$-SAT on $n$ variables to CVP on a lattice of rank $n$. In this…
We analyze the multivariate generalization of Howgrave-Graham's algorithm for the approximate common divisor problem. In the m-variable case with modulus N and approximate common divisor of size N^beta, this improves the size of the error…
Many combinatorial optimization problems can be formulated as the search for a subgraph that satisfies certain properties and minimizes the total weight. We assume here that the vertices correspond to points in a metric space and can take…
We prove that the $L^2$ CVP distance from a random short ring element to the log-unit lattice of $\Q(\zeta_{2^k})$ converges to $\frac{\pi}{2\sqrt{6}}\sqrt{n}$ as $n=2^{k-1}\to\infty$. We then show that this target lies inside the Voronoi…

Two approximation algorithms for solving convex vector optimization problems (CVOPs) are provided. Both algorithms solve the CVOP and its geometric dual problem simultaneously. The first algorithm is an extension of Benson's outer…
In the present paper we study a non-modular variant of the Short Integer Solution problem over the integers. Given a random matrix $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{n\times m}$ with entries $a_{ij}$ such that $0\le a_{ij}< Q,$ for some $Q>0,$ the goal is…
The Shortest Lattice Vector (SLV) problem is in general hard to solve, except for special cases (such as root lattices and lattices for which an obtuse superbase is known). In this paper, we present a new class of SLV problems that can be…
We show the first dimension-preserving search-to-decision reductions for approximate SVP and CVP. In particular, for any $\gamma \leq 1 + O(\log n/n)$, we obtain an efficient dimension-preserving reduction from $\gamma^{O(n/\log n)}$-SVP to…
We consider coGapSVP_\sqrt{n}, a gap version of the shortest vector in a lattice problem. This problem is known to be in AM\cap coNP but is not known to be in NP or in MA. We prove that it lies inside QMA, the quantum analogue of NP. This…
Building on the blueprint from Goemans and Williamson (1995) for the Max-Cut problem, we construct a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for orthogonally constrained quadratic optimization problems. First, we derive a semidefinite…
We give a quantum algorithm for solving the Bounded Distance Decoding (BDD) problem with a subexponential approximation factor on a class of integer lattices. The quantum algorithm uses a well-known but challenging-to-use quantum state on…
We show a $2^{n/2+o(n)}$-time algorithm that finds a (non-zero) vector in a lattice $\mathcal{L} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with norm at most $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{n})\cdot \min\{\lambda_1(\mathcal{L}), \det(\mathcal{L})^{1/n}\}$, where…
Quantum annealing has been recently studied to solve the shortest vector problem (SVP), where the norm of a lattice point vector is mapped to the problem Hamiltonian with the qudit encoding, Hamming-weight encoding, or binary encoding, and…
