Abstract

In the applications it may occur that our initial pseudorandom binary sequence turns out to be not long enough, thus we have to take the concatenation or merging of it with other pseudorandom binary sequences. Here our goal is study when we can form the concatenation of several pseudorandom binary sequences belonging to a given family? We introduce and study new measures which can be used for answering this question.
