Fast algorithms for determining the linear complexities of sequences over GF(pm) with the period 3n

摘要

In this paper, for the the primes p such that 3 is a divisor of p - 1, we prove a result which reduces the computation of the linear complexity of a sequence over GF(pm)(any positive integer m) with the period 3n (n and pm - 1 are coprime) to the computation of the linear complexities of three sequences with the period n. Combined with some known algorithms such as generalized Games-Chan algorithm, Berlekamp-Massey algorithm and Xiao-Wei-Lam-lmamura algorithm, we can determine the linear complexity of any sequence over GF(pm) with the period 3n (n and pm - 1 are coprime) more efficiently.
