A Note on Hall’s Sextic Residue Sequence: Correlation Measure of Order [Formula Omitted] and Related Measures of Pseudorandomness

It is known that Hall’s sextic residue sequence has some desirable features of pseudorandomness: an ideal two-level autocorrelation and linear complexity of the order of magnitude of its period [Formula Omitted]. Here we study its correlation measure of order [Formula Omitted] and show that it is, u...

Summary:It is known that Hall’s sextic residue sequence has some desirable features of pseudorandomness: an ideal two-level autocorrelation and linear complexity of the order of magnitude of its period [Formula Omitted]. Here we study its correlation measure of order [Formula Omitted] and show that it is, up to a constant depending on [Formula Omitted] and some logarithmic factor, of order of magnitude [Formula Omitted], which is close to the expected value for a random sequence of length [Formula Omitted]. Moreover, we derive from this bound a lower bound on the [Formula Omitted]th maximum order complexity of order of magnitude [Formula Omitted], which is the expected order of magnitude for a random sequence of length [Formula Omitted].
