A class of binary sequences with period $2p$ is constructed using generalized cyclotomic classes, and their linear complexity, minimal polynomial over ${\mathbb{F}_{{q}}}$ as well as 2-adic complexity are determined using Gauss period and…

We make many new observations on primitive roots modulo primes. For an odd prime $p$ and an integer $c$, we establish a theorem concerning $\sum_g(\frac{g+c}p)$, where $g$ runs over all the primitive roots modulo $p$ among $1,\ldots,p-1$,…

We investigate the $k$-error linear complexity of pseudorandom binary sequences of period $p^{\mathfrak{r}}$ derived from the Euler quotients modulo $p^{\mathfrak{r}-1}$, a power of an odd prime $p$ for $\mathfrak{r}\geq 2$. When…

Let $p=3n+1$ be a prime with $n\in\mathbb{N}=\{0,1,\cdots\}$, and let $g\in\mathbb{Z}$ be a primitive root modulo $p$. Let $0<a_1<\cdots<a_n<p$ be all the cubic residues modulo $p$ in the interval $(0,p)$. Then clearly the sequence $$a_1\…

Let $p$ be an odd prime with $2$-adic expansion $\sum_{i=0}^kp_i\cdot2^i$. For a sequence $\underline{a}=(a(t))_{t\ge 0}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$, each $a(t)$ belongs to $\{0,1,\ldots, p-1\}$ and has a unique $2$-adic expansion…

We first introduce a family of binary $pq^2$-periodic sequences based on the Euler quotients modulo $pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are two distinct odd primes and $p$ divides $q-1$. The minimal polynomials and linear complexities are determined…

We consider the $k$-error linear complexity of binary sequences derived from Eluer quotients modulo $2p$ ($p>3$ is an odd prime), recently introduced by J. Zhang and C. Zhao. We adopt certain decimal sequences to determine the values of…

New generalized cyclotomic binary sequences of period $p^2$ are proposed in this paper, where $p$ is an odd prime. The sequences are almost balanced and their linear complexity is determined. The result shows that the proposed sequences…

The numbers we study in this paper are of the form $B_{n, p}(k)$, which is the number of binary words of length $n$ that contain the word $p$ (as a subsequence) exactly $k$ times. Our motivation comes from the analogous study of pattern…

Let b be an odd integer such that b=+/-1 (mod 8) and let q be a prime with primitive root 2 such that q does not divide b. We show that if (p(k)) is a sequence of odd primes, with 0<=k<=q-2 such that p(k)=2p(k-1)+b for all 1<=k<=q-2, then…

Consider a strongly $b$-multiplicative sequence and a prime $p$. Studying its $p$-rarefaction consists in characterizing the asymptotic behaviour of the sums of the first terms indexed by the multiples of $p$. The integer values of the…

We consider the complexities of substitutive sequences over a binary alphabet. By studying various types of special words, we show that, knowing some initial values, its complexity can be completely formulated via a recurrence formula…

Let $p$ be any odd prime number. Let $k$ be any positive integer such that $2\leq k\leq [\frac{p+1}3]+1$. Let $S = (a_1,a_2,...,a_{2p-k})$ be any sequence in ${\Bbb Z}_p$ such that there is no subsequence of length $p$ of $S$ whose sum is…

In this paper, a new method is presented to compute the 2-adic complexity of pseudo-random sequences. With this method, the 2-adic complexities of all the known sequences with ideal 2-level autocorrelation are uniformly determined. Results…

We consider the problem of generating symmetric pseudo-random sign (+/-1) matrices based on the similarity of their spectra to Wigner's semicircular law. Using binary m-sequences (Golomb sequences) of lengths n=2^m-1, we give a simple…

Successive pairs of pseudo-random numbers generated by standard linear congruential transformations display ordered patterns of parallel lines. We study the ``ordered'' and ``chaotic'' distribution of such pairs by solving the eigenvalue…

In this paper, we introduce and study a variant of Kummer's notion of (ir)regularity of primes which we call G-irregularity. It is based on Genocchi numbers $G_n$, rather than Bernoulli number $B_n.$ We say that an odd prime $p$ is…
