Abstract

A fast algorithm is derived for determining the linear complexity and the minimal polynomial of periodic sequences over GF(3) with period 3n p m, where p is a prime number, and 3 is a primitive root modulo p 2 . The algorithm presented here generalizes the fast algorithm to determine the linear complexity of a sequence over GF(q) with period p m, where p is a prime, q is a prime and a primitive root modulo p 2.
