It is shown that a q-periodic sequence over the finite field Fq passes an extended version of Marsaglia's lattice test for high dimensions if and only if its linear complexity...
We present a quantum algorithm for the computation of the irrational period lattice of a function on Zn which is periodic in a relaxed sense. This algorithm is applied to compute t...
We improve on a lattice algorithm of Tezuka for the computation of the k-distribution of a class of random number generators based on finite fields. We show how this is applied to ...
The first part of this paper classifies all purely cubic function fields over a finite field of characteristic not equal to 3. In the remainder, we describe a method for computing ...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
