Abstract
This chapter provides a concise introduction into algebraic tools suited for the analysis of nonlinear combinations of LFSRs. Many of the definitions stated may be either found in (Mass 84b) or some good text book on finite fields such as (Lidl 83). Nevertheless this chapter also contains results of independent interest and definitions which are not in common use but proved to be convenient in the nonlinear theory of periodic sequences. The purpose of this chapter is to collect the basic definitions.
