Approximating shortest lattice vectors is not harder than approximating closest lattice vectors

This work presents a Cook-reduction of the problem of approximating the shortest vector in a lattice to the problem of approximating the closest vectors in a lattice. The reduction is simple, preserves the level of approximation as well as the dimension of the lattice, and works both for the search and decision versions.
