Families of sequences with good family complexity and cross-correlation measure
In this paper we study pseudorandomness of a family of sequences in terms of
two measures, the family complexity (-complexity) and the cross-correlation
measure of order . We consider sequences not only on binary alphabet but
also on -symbols (-ary) alphabet. We first generalize some known methods
on construction of the family of binary pseudorandom sequences. We prove a
bound on the -complexity of a large family of binary sequences of
Legendre-symbols of certain irreducible polynomials. We show that this family
as well as its dual family have both a large family complexity and a small
cross-correlation measure up to a rather large order. Next, we present another
family of binary sequences having high -complexity and low cross-correlation
measure. Then we extend the results to the family of sequences on -symbols
alphabet.Comment: 13 pages. Comments are welcome
Pseudorandomness and Dynamics of Fermat Quotients
We obtain some theoretic and experimental results concerning various
properties (the number of fixed points, image distribution, cycle lengths) of
the dynamical system naturally associated with Fermat quotients acting on the
set . We also consider pseudorandom properties of Fermat
quotients such as joint distribution and linear complexity
