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…
The search for patterns in time series is a very common task when dealing with complex systems. This is usually accomplished by employing a complexity measure such as entropies and fractal dimensions. However, such measures usually only…
The $n$th term of an automatic sequence is the output of a deterministic finite automaton fed with the representation of $n$ in a suitable numeration system. In this paper, instead of considering automatic sequences built on a numeration…
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…
This paper describes new, simple, recursive methods of construction for orientable sequences, i.e. periodic binary sequences in which any n-tuple occurs at most once in a period in either direction. As has been previously described, such…
We determine the 2-adic complexity of the Ding-Helleseth-Martinsen (DHM) binary sequences by using cyclotomic numbers of order four, "Gauss periods" and "quadratic Gauss sum" on finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and valued in $\mathbb{Z}_{2^N-1}$…
In this survey, we address the worst-case, average-case, and generic-case time complexity of the word problem and some other algorithmic problems in several classes of groups and show that it is often the case that the average-case…
We revisit the periodic complexity function $h_{\bf w}(n)$ introduced by Mignosi and Restivo. This function gives the average of the first $n$ local periods of a recurrent infinite word ${\bf w}$. We give a different method than that of…
This paper contributes to compute 2-adic complexity of two classes of Ding-Helleseth generalized cyclotomic sequences. Results show that 2-adic complexity of these sequences is good enough to resist the attack by the rational approximation…
We prove decidability results on the existence of constant subsequences of uniformly recurrent morphic sequences along arithmetic progressions. We use spectral properties of the subshifts they generate to give a first algorithm deciding…
Abstract numeration systems encode natural numbers using radix ordered words of an infinite regular language and linear recurrence sequences play a key role in their valuation. Sequence automata, which are deterministic finite automata with…
We improve lower bounds on the $k$th-order nonlinear complexity of pseudorandom sequences over finite fields and we establish a probabilistic result on the behavior of the $k$th-order nonlinear complexity of random sequences over finite…
We initiate a study of the complexity of quantum field theories (QFTs) by proposing a measure of information contained in a QFT and its observables. We show that from minimal assertions, one is naturally led to measure complexity by two…
We introduce a new measure of complexity (called spectral complexity) for directed graphs. We start with splitting of the directed graph into its recurrent and non-recurrent parts. We define the spectral complexity metric in terms of the…
