We continue to investigate binary sequence (fu) over {0, 1} defined by (−1)fu = ( (u−u)/p p ) for integers u ≥ 0, where ( · p ) is the Legendre symbol and we restrict ( 0 p ) = 1. In an earlier work, the linear complexity of (fu) was determined for w = p − 1 under the assumption of 2p−1 6≡ 1 (mod p2). In this work, we give possible values on the linear complexity of (fu) for all 1 ≤ w < p− 1 un...

We consider the differential equations y = λ0(x)y ′ + s0(x)y, where λ0(x), s0(x) are C −functions. We prove (i) if the differential equation, has a polynomial solution of degree n > 0, then δn = λnsn−1 − λn−1sn = 0, where λn = λ ′ n−1 + sn−1 + λ0λn−1 and sn = s ′ n−1 + s0λk−1, n = 1, 2, . . . . Conversely (ii) if λnλn−1 6= 0 and δn = 0, then the differential equation has a polynomial solution o...

Hough functions are the eigenfunctions of the Laplace tidal equation governing fluid motion on a rotating sphere with a resting basic state. Several numerical methods have been used in the past. In this paper, we compare two of those methods: normalized associated Legendre polynomial expansion and Chebyshev collocation. Both methods are not widely used, but both have some advantages over the co...
