Solving exponential diophantine equations using lattice basis reduction algorithms
Let S be the set of all positive integers with prime divisors from a fixed finite set of primes. Algorithms are given for solving the diophantine inequality 0< x − y < yδ in x, y S for fixed δ (0, 1), and for the diophantine equation x + Y = z in x, y, z S. The method is based on multi-dimensional diophantine approximation, in the real and p-adic case, respectively. The main computational tool is the L3-Basis Reduction Algorithm. Elaborate examples are presented
Critical Slowing-Down in Landau Gauge-Fixing Algorithms
We study the problem of critical slowing-down for gauge-fixing algorithms
(Landau gauge) in lattice gauge theory on a -dimensional lattice. We
consider five such algorithms, and lattice sizes ranging from to
(up to in the case of Fourier acceleration). We measure four
different observables and we find that for each given algorithm they all have
the same relaxation time within error bars. We obtain that: the so-called {\em
Los Alamos} method has dynamic critical exponent , the {\em
overrelaxation} method and the {\em stochastic overrelaxation} method have , the so-called {\em Cornell} method has slightly smaller than
and the {\em Fourier acceleration} method completely eliminates critical
slowing-down. A detailed discussion and analysis of the tuning of these
algorithms is also presented.Comment: 40 pages (including 10 figures). A few modifications, incorporating
referee's suggestions, without the length reduction required for publicatio
Integer-Forcing MIMO Linear Receivers Based on Lattice Reduction
A new architecture called integer-forcing (IF) linear receiver has been
recently proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels,
wherein an appropriate integer linear combination of the received symbols has
to be computed as a part of the decoding process. In this paper, we propose a
method based on Hermite-Korkine-Zolotareff (HKZ) and Minkowski lattice basis
reduction algorithms to obtain the integer coefficients for the IF receiver. We
show that the proposed method provides a lower bound on the ergodic rate, and
achieves the full receive diversity. Suitability of complex
Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz (LLL) lattice reduction algorithm (CLLL) to solve the
problem is also investigated. Furthermore, we establish the connection between
the proposed IF linear receivers and lattice reduction-aided MIMO detectors
(with equivalent complexity), and point out the advantages of the former class
of receivers over the latter. For the and MIMO
channels, we compare the coded-block error rate and bit error rate of the
proposed approach with that of other linear receivers. Simulation results show
that the proposed approach outperforms the zero-forcing (ZF) receiver, minimum
mean square error (MMSE) receiver, and the lattice reduction-aided MIMO
detectors.Comment: 9 figures and 11 pages. Modified the title, abstract and some parts
of the paper. Major change from v1: Added new results on applicability of the
CLLL reductio
On the Lattice Distortion Problem
We introduce and study the \emph{Lattice Distortion Problem} (LDP). LDP asks
how "similar" two lattices are. I.e., what is the minimal distortion of a
linear bijection between the two lattices? LDP generalizes the Lattice
Isomorphism Problem (the lattice analogue of Graph Isomorphism), which simply
asks whether the minimal distortion is one.
As our first contribution, we show that the distortion between any two
lattices is approximated up to a factor by a simple function of
their successive minima. Our methods are constructive, allowing us to compute
low-distortion mappings that are within a factor
of optimal in polynomial time and within a factor of optimal in
singly exponential time. Our algorithms rely on a notion of basis reduction
introduced by Seysen (Combinatorica 1993), which we show is intimately related
to lattice distortion. Lastly, we show that LDP is NP-hard to approximate to
within any constant factor (under randomized reductions), by a reduction from
the Shortest Vector Problem.Comment: This is the full version of a paper that appeared in ESA 201
