In this paper we study number fields which are Euclidean with respect to functions that are different from the absolute value of the norm, namely weighted norms that depend on a real parameter c. We introduce the Euclidean minimum of weighted norms as the set of values of c for which the function is Euclidean, and we show that the Euclidean minimum may be irrational and not isolated. We also present computational results on Euclidean minima of cubic number fields, and present a list of norm-Euclidean complex cubic fields that we conjecture to be complete.
