A Family of Binary Sequences with Optimal Correlation Property and Large Linear Span

A family of binary sequences is presented and proved to have optimal correlation property and large linear span. It includes the small set of Kasami sequences, No sequence set and TN sequence set as special cases. An explicit lower bound expression on the linear span of sequences in the family is given. With suitable choices of parameters, it is proved that the family has exponentially larger linear spans than both No sequences and TN sequences. A class of ideal autocorrelation sequences is also constructed and proved to have large linear span.Comment: 21 page

Corrigendum to New Generalized Cyclotomic Binary Sequences of Period p2p^2

New generalized cyclotomic binary sequences of period $p^2$ are proposed in this paper, where $p$ is an odd prime. The sequences are almost balanced and their linear complexity is determined. The result shows that the proposed sequences have very large linear complexity if $p$ is a non-Wieferich prime.Comment: In the appended corrigendum, we pointed out that the proof of Lemma 6 in the paper only holds for $f=2$ and gave a proof for any $f=2^r$ when $p$ is a non-Wieferich prim
