Gz. Xiao et al., A fast algorithm for determining the linear complexity of a sequence with period p(n) over GF (q), IEEE INFO T, 46(6), 2000, pp. 2203-2206
A fast algorithm is presented for determining the linear complexity of a se
quence with period p(n) over GF (q), where p is an odd prime, and where q i
s a prime and a primitive root (mod p(2)).
