Description
Summary:Finding the shortest vector in a lattice is a NP-hard problem. The best known approximation algorithm for this problem is LLL algorithm with the approximation factor of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">\alpha ^{\frac {n-1}{2}} </tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">\alpha \geq \frac {4}{3} </tex-math></inline-formula>, which is not a good approximation factor. This work proposes a new polynomial time approximation algorithm for the shortest lattice vector problem. The proposed method makes use of only integer arithmetic and does not require Gram-Schmidt orthogonal basis for generating reduced basis. The proposed method is able to obtain an approximation factor of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">\frac {1}{(1-\delta)} </tex-math></inline-formula>, where <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">0 \leq \delta \lt 1 </tex-math></inline-formula>.
