We are so sorry to point out that the results in our paper “On the error linear complexity spectrum of \(p^{n}\)-periodic binary sequences” are very similar to the results in [1], which was written in Chinese. But when we wrote this paper we had never read [1] before, even the papers we read didn’t cite [1]. This is totally a coincidence. It is mainly because the technique we used is both from [2, 3]. But [1] had been published earlier in 2004; it is our negligence. We are terribly sorry to the authors of [1] and even more to this reputed journal.
