Does $2$ variable linear Diophantine equation in $NC$ imply $2$ dimensional shortest vector is in $NC$?

Consider the Linear Diophantine in known $a,b,c\in\mathbb Z$ $$ax+by=c.$$ Above can be solve by Extended Euclidean which is not in $NC$ as far as we know. It is clear if Extended Euclidean is in $NC$ ...

Modular inverse computation - avoiding Euclidean algorithm

Modular inverse is known to be computable by Extended Euclidean algorithm which is the reaping the rewards of computing the GCD of two numbers or proving two numbers are coprime. If we already know ...

Is it still not known whether the construction of shortest nonzero vector of a lattice w.r.t. $l^2$-norm is NP-hard?

It was shown in P. van Emde Boas, Another NP-complete partition problem and the complexity of computing short vectors in a lattice that the construction of a shortest nonzero vector of a Euclidean ...

Lattice reduction of basis with non-integer coefficients

Suppose I have an ordered basis $\{b_1, \dots, b_n\}$ of a lattice in $\mathbb{R}^n$, but I do not assume that $b_i \in \mathbb{Z}^n$ for all $1 \leq i \leq n$. I would like to perform lattice ...

Intersection of a $\mathbb{Q}$-affine space with $\mathbb{Z}^n$

Let $E$, a $\mathbb{Q}$-affine space of arbitrary dimension included in $\mathbb{Q}^n$. Is it possible to check efficiently if $E \cap \mathbb{Z}^n$ is empty or not? If is an hard problem could give ...

Shortest Lattice Vector with restricted $x$

Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice with basis, $B$ consisting of vectors $b_i$, so that the elements of $\Lambda$ are of form, $y\in \Lambda \iff y=Bx=\sum_i b_ix_i$ for some $x_i\in\mathbb{Z}$. My questions ...

How to find nearest lattice point to given point in R^n ? Is it NP ?

Consider some lattice in R^n. Take some point "P" in R^n (which does not belong to this lattice in general). What are the algorithms to find some nearest lattice point to "P" ? "Nearest" - means in ...

Domination in Nice Lattices

Let an integer vector be nice when it has only two nonzero components, which sum to zero. So (0, 0, 3, 0, -3) and (-1, 0, 1, 0, 0) are examples of nice vectors in $n=5$ dimensions. Call a lattice ...
