On the linear complexity profile of some sequences derived from elliptic curves

For a given elliptic curve $\mathbf{E}$ over a finite field of odd characteristic and a rational function $f$ on $\mathbf{E}$ we first study the linear complexity profiles of the sequences $f(nG)$, $n=1,2,\dots$ which complements earlier results of Hess and Shparlinski. We use Edwards coordinates to be able to deal with many $f$ where Hess and Shparlinski's result does not apply. Moreover, we study the linear complexities of the (generalized) elliptic curve power generators $f(e^nG)$, $n=1,2,\dots$. We present large families of functions $f$ such that the linear complexity profiles of these sequences are large.
