We present algorithms for the $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate version of the closest vector problem for certain norms. The currently fastest algorithm (Dadush and Kun 2016) for general norms has running time of $2^{O(n)} (1/\epsilon)^n$. We…

Let $A$ and $B$ be two point sets in the plane of sizes $r$ and $n$ respectively (assume $r \leq n$), and let $k$ be a parameter. A matching between $A$ and $B$ is a family of pairs in $A \times B$ so that any point of $A \cup B$ appears in…
