TY - JOUR A1 - Schnorr, Claus Peter T1 - Block Korkin–Zolotarev bases and successive minima N2 - Let b1, . . . , bm 2 IRn be an arbitrary basis of lattice L that is a block Korkin Zolotarev basis with block size ¯ and let ¸i(L) denote the successive minima of lattice L. We prove that for i = 1, . . . ,m 4 i + 3 ° 2 i 1 ¯ 1 ¯ · kbik2/¸i(L)2 · ° 2m i ¯ 1 ¯ i + 3 4 where °¯ is the Hermite constant. For ¯ = 3 we establish the optimal upper bound kb1k2/¸1(L)2 · µ3 2¶m 1 2 1 and we present block Korkin Zolotarev lattice bases for which this bound is tight. We improve the Nearest Plane Algorithm of Babai (1986) using block Korkin Zolotarev bases. Given a block Korkin Zolotarev basis b1, . . . , bm with block size ¯ and x 2 L(b1, . . . , bm) a lattice point v can be found in time ¯O(¯) satisfying kx vk2 · m° 2m ¯ 1 ¯ minu2L kx uk2.
