The NP-hardness of the closest vector problem (CVP) is an important basis for quantum-secure cryptography, in much the same way that integer factorisation's conjectured hardness is at the foundation of cryptosystems like RSA. Recent work…

We consider three known bounds for the quadratic assignment problem (QAP): an eigenvalue, a convex quadratic programming (CQP), and a semidefinite programming (SDP) bound. Since the last two bounds were not compared directly before, we…
