Abstract

We study the k-error linear complexities of de Bruijn sequences. Let n be a positive integer and k be an integer less than ⌈2n-1n⌉. We show that the k-error linear complexity of a de Bruijn sequence of order n is greater than or equal to 2n - 1+ 1, which implies that de Bruijn sequences have good randomness property with respect to the k-error linear complexity. We also study the compactness of some related bounds, and prove that in the case that n≥ 4 and n is a power of 2, there always exists a de Bruijn of order n such that the Hamming weight of L(s) ⊕ R(s) is 2n-1n, where L(s) and R(s) denote respectively the left half and right half of one period of this de Bruijn sequence. Besides, some experimental results are provided for the case that n is not a power of 2.
