Abstract

The linear complexity (LC) of a sequence has been used as a convenient measure of the randomness of a sequence. Based on the theories of linear complexity, kk-error linear complexity, the minimum error and the kk-error linear complexity profile, the notion of mm-tight error linear complexity is presented. An efficient algorithm for computing mm-tight error linear complexity is derived from the algorithm for computing kk-error linear complexity of sequences over GF(pmp^{m}) with period pnp^n, where pp is a prime. The validity of the algorithm is shown. The algorithm is also realized with C language, and an example is presented to illustrate the algorithm.
