The identification of binary sequences with large merit factor (small mean-squared aperiodic autocorrelation) is an old problem of complex analysis and combinatorial optimization, with practical importance in digital communications…
We consider the class of Rudin-Shapiro-like polynomials, whose $L^4$ norms on the complex unit circle were studied by Borwein and Mossinghoff. The polynomial $f(z)=f_0+f_1 z + \cdots + f_d z^d$ is identified with the sequence…
Sequences with low aperiodic autocorrelation and crosscorrelation are used in communications and remote sensing. Golay and Shapiro independently devised a recursive construction that produces families of complementary pairs of binary…
In this paper, we present an alternative proof showing that the maximal aperiodic autocorrelation of the $m$-th Rudin-Shapiro sequence is of the same order as $\lambda^{m}$, where $\lambda$ is the real root of $x^{3} + x^{2} - 2x - 4$. This…
In signal processing the Rudin-Shapiro polynomials have good autocorrelation properties and their values on the unit circle are small. Binary sequences with low autocorrelation coefficients are of interest in radar, sonar, and communication…
The merit factor of a $\{-1, 1\}$ binary sequence measures the collective smallness of its non-trivial aperiodic autocorrelations. Binary sequences with large merit factor are important in digital communications because they allow the…
Pairs of binary sequences formed using linear combinations of multiplicative characters of finite fields are exhibited that, when compared to random sequence pairs, simultaneously achieve significantly lower mean square autocorrelation…
We calculate the asymptotic merit factor, under all cyclic rotations of rows and columns, of two families of binary two-dimensional arrays derived from the quadratic character. The arrays in these families have size p x q, where p and q are…
The asymptotic critical exponent measures for a sequence the maximum repetition rate of factors of growing length. The infimum of asymptotic critical exponents of sequences of a certain class is called the asymptotic repetition threshold of…
Motivated by the known autocorrelation properties of the Rudin-Shapiro sequence, we study the discrete correlation among infinite sequences over a finite alphabet, where we just take into account whether two symbols are identical. We show…
The Pursley-Sarwate criterion of a pair of finite complex-valued sequences measures the collective smallness of the aperiodic autocorrelations and the aperiodic crosscorrelations of the two sequences. It is known that this quantity is…
In this paper, we present a computational search for best-known merit factors of longer binary sequences with an odd length. Finding low autocorrelation binary sequences with optimal or suboptimal merit factors is a very difficult…
In this paper, we study the abelian complexity of the Rudin-Shapiro sequence and a related sequence. We show that these two sequences share the same complexity function $\rho(n)$ which satisfies certain recurrence relations. As a…
Let $P$ be a probability distribution on $\mathbb{R}^d$ (equipped with an Euclidean norm $|\cdot|$). Let $ r> 0 $ and let $(\alpha_n)_{n \geq1}$ be an (asymptotically) $L^r(P)$-optimal sequence of $n$-quantizers. We investigate the…
We introduce a family of block-additive automatic sequences, that are obtained by allocating a weight to each couple of digits, and defining the $n$th term of the sequence as being the total weight of the integer $n$ written in base $k$.…
Pursley and Sarwate established a lower bound on a combined measure of autocorrelation and crosscorrelation for a pair $(f,g)$ of binary sequences (i.e., sequences with terms in $\{-1,1\}$). If $f$ is a nonzero sequence, then its…
It has been noticed that all the known binary sequences having the asymptotic merit factor $\ge 6$ are the modifications to the real primitive characters. In this paper, we give a new modification of the character sequences at length…
The limit functions generated by quasi-linear functions or sequences (including the sum of the Rudin-Shapiro sequence as an example) are continuous but almost everywhere non-differentiable functions. Their graphs are fractal curves. In 2017…
For the Riesz and logarithmic potentials, we consider greedy energy sequences $(a_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ on the unit circle $S^1$, constructed in such a way that for every $n\geq 1$, the discrete potential generated by the first $n$ points…
Binary Sidel'nikov-Lempel-Cohn-Eastman sequences (or SLCE sequences) over F 2 have even period and almost perfect autocorrelation. However, the evaluation of the linear complexity of these sequences is really difficult. In this paper, we…
