On the Optimality of Gauss's Algorithm over Euclidean Imaginary Quadratic Fields

Abstract

In this paper, we continue our previous work on the reduction of algebraic lattices over imaginary quadratic fields for the special case when the lattice is spanned over a two dimensional basis. In particular, we show that the algebraicvariant of Gauss algorithm returns a basis that corresponds to the successive minima of the lattice in polynomial time if the chosen ring is Euclidean.
