Covering Cubes and the Closest Vector Problem

Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar

Speaker: Katrina Glaeser, UC Davis
Location: 2240 MSB
Start time: Thu, Feb 23 2012, 12:10PM

I'll talk about what the closest vector problem is, and why it is hard. Then I will talk about the covering method in the paper "Covering Cubes and the Closest Vector Problem" by Eisenbrand, Hähnle, and Niemeier.
