The determination of the cross correlation between an $m$-sequence and its decimated sequence has been a long-standing research problem. Considering a ternary $m$-sequence of period $3^{3r}-1$, we determine the cross correlation…

The cross-correlation problem is a classic problem in sequence design. In this paper we compute the cross-correlation distribution of the Niho-type decimation $d=3(p^m-1)+1$ over $\mathrm{GF}(p^{2m})$ for any prime $p \ge 5$. Previously…

Let $d=\frac{(3^{2k}+1)^{2}}{20}$, where $k$ is an odd integer. We show that the magnitude of the cross-correlation values of a ternary $m$-sequence $\{s_{t}\}$ of period $3^{4k}-1$ and its decimated sequence $\{s_{dt}\}$ is upper bounded…

For an odd prime $p$ and $n=2m$, a new decimation $d=\frac{(p^{m}-1)^{2}}{2}+1$ of Niho type of $m$-sequences is presented. Using generalized Niho's Theorem, we show that the cross-correlation function between a $p$-ary $m$-sequence of…

Considered is the distribution of the crosscorrelation between $m$-sequences of length $2^m-1$, where $m=2k$, and $m$-sequences of shorter length $2^k-1$. New pairs of $m$-sequences with three-valued crosscorrelation are found and the…

In this paper, for an even integer $n\geq 4$ and any positive integer $k$ with ${\rm gcd}(n/2,k)={\rm gcd}(n/2-k,2k)=d$ being odd, a class of $p$-ary codes $\mathcal{C}^k$ is defined and their weight distribution is completely determined,…

In this paper, we follow the recent work of Helleseth, Kholosha, Johanssen and Ness to study the cross correlation between an $m$-sequence of period $2^m-1$ and the $d$-decimation of an $m$-sequence of shorter period $2^{n}-1$ for an even…

Binary $m$-sequences are ones with the largest period $n=2^m-1$ among the binary sequences produced by linear shift registers with length $m$. They have a wide range of applications in communication since they have several desirable…

Cyclic codes have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. The decoding error probability and the undetected error probability are usually bounded by or given from the weight distributions of the codes. Most researches are about the…

We study trace codes with defining set $L,$ a subgroup of the multiplicative group of an extension of degree $m$ of the alphabet ring $\mathbb{F}_3+u\mathbb{F}_3+u^{2}\mathbb{F}_{3},$ with $u^{3}=1.$ These codes are abelian, and their…

Cyclic codes are an important class of linear codes, whose weight distribution have been extensively studied. Most previous results obtained so far were for cyclic codes with no more than three zeroes. Inspired by the works…

The distribution of a given sequence in the set of all sequences with n ones and m = M - n zeros are found by relating the problem to the partitions of a natural number in m natural summands, taking into account the order. The formulas…

Let $\zeta^k(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \tau_k(n) n^{-s}, \Re s > 1$. We present three conditional results on the ternary additive correlation sum $$\sum_{n\le X} \tau_3(n) \tau_3(n+h),\quad (h\ge 1),$$ and give numerical verifications of our…

We study codes with parameters of the ternary Hamming $(n=(3^m-1)/2,3^{n-m},3)$ code, i.e., ternary $1$-perfect codes. The rank of the code is defined to be the dimension of its affine span. We characterize ternary $1$-perfect codes of rank…

Coding theory and $t$-designs have close connections and interesting interplay. In this paper, we first introduce a class of ternary linear codes and study their parameters. We then focus on their three-weight subcodes with a special weight…
