A fast algorithm for the generation ofk-ary De Bruijn sequences

  • Published:
Journal of Electronics (China)

Abstract

De Bruijn sequences are highly important nonlinear shift register sequences. This paper presents a new algorithm for the generation ofk-ary de Bruijn sequences by juxtaposing the periodic reductions of the cycles. Its each step produces a string of elements instead of one element. Hence the algorithm reduces the time of operation, and accelerates the speed of generation.
