In this paper we study nearly perfect sequences (NPS) via their connection to direct product difference sets (DPDS). We prove the connection between a $p$-ary NPS of period $n$ and type $\gamma$ and a cyclic…
In this paper, we study the sequences with (non-consecutive) two zero-symbols and ideal autocorrelation, which are also known as almost $m$-ary nearly perfect sequences. We show that these sequences are equivalent to $\ell$-partial direct…

Let $G$ be an additive group of order $v$. A $k$-element subset $D$ of $G$ is called a $(v, k, \lambda, t)$-almost difference set if the expressions $gh^{-1}$, for $g$ and $h$ in $D$, represent $t$ of the non-identity elements in $G$…
Let $p$ be an odd prime such that $p \equiv 3\;{\rm mod}\;4$ and $n$ be an odd integer. In this paper, two new families of $p$-ary sequences of period $N = \frac{p^n-1}{2}$ are constructed by two decimated $p$-ary m-sequences $m(2t)$ and…
We obtain new non-existence results of perfect p-ary sequences with period n (called type $[p, n]$). The first case is a class with type [p\equiv5\pmod 8,p^aqn']. The second case contains five types [p\equiv3\pmod 4,p^aq^ln'] for certain…
Various problems in engineering and natural science demand binary sequences that do not resemble translates of themselves, that is, the sequences must have small aperiodic autocorrelation at every nonzero shift. If $f$ is a sequence, then…
Pseudo-random sequences with good statistical property, such as low autocorrelation, high linear complexity and large 2-adic complexity, have been applied in stream cipher. In general, it is difficult to give both the linear complexity and…
Pseudorandom binary sequences with optimal balance and autocorrelation have many applications in stream cipher, communication, coding theory, etc. It is known that binary sequences with three-level autocorrelation should have an almost…
Aperiodic autocorrelation is an important indicator of performance of sequences used in communications, remote sensing, and scientific instrumentation. Knowing a sequence's autocorrelation function, which reports the autocorrelation at…

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…
We give two new constructions of almost difference sets. The first is a generic construction of $(q^{2}(q+1),q(q^{2}-1),q(q^{2}-q-1),q^{2}-1)$ almost difference sets in certain groups of order $q^{2}(q+1)$ ($q$ is an odd prime power) having…
An $m$-sequence is the one of the largest period among those produced by a linear feedback shift register. It possesses several desirable features of pseudorandomness such as balance, uniform pattern distribution and ideal autocorrelation…
Shen and Zhang (2021) showed that almost periodicity naturally arises in the spectral representation of discrete-time $p$-adic self-similar processes with stationary increments. In this paper, we study several notions of almost periodicity…

Via interleaving Ding-Helleseth-Lam sequences, a class of binary sequences of period $4p$ with optimal autocorrelation magnitude was constructed in \cite{W. Su}. Later, Fan showed that the linear complexity of this class of sequences is…
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…

LSB (Least Significant Bit) sequences are widely used as the initial inputs in some modern stream ciphers, such as the ZUC algorithm-the core of the 3GPP LTE International Encryption Standard. Therefore, analyzing the statistical properties…
