Abstract

V.I. Arnold has recently defined the complexity of a sequence of nn zeros and ones with the help of the operator of finite differences. In this paper we describe the results obtained for almost most complicated sequences of elements of a finite field, whose dimension nn is a prime number. We prove that with nn\to \infty this property is inherent in almost all sequences, while the values of multiplicative functions possess this property with any nn different from the characteristic of the field. We also describe the prime values of the parameter nn which make the logarithmic function almost most complicated. All these sequences reveal a stronger complexity; its algebraic sense is quite clear.
