Abstract
An efficient algorithm for determining the linear complexity and the minimal polynomial of sequence with period p m q n over a finite field GF(q) is designed, where p andq are primes, and q is a primitive root modulo p 2. The new algorithm generalizes the algorithm for computing the linear complexity of sequences with period q n over GF(q) and that for computing the linear complexity of sequences with period p m over GF(q).
