The scope of the special issue encompasses all aspects of shift-register sequences, coding, Ìýcryptography, Ìýcombinatorics and games, Ìýand their applications to communications. Original research papers are sought in those areas, Ìýand a fewÌý invited expository and surveyÌý papers related to Solomon Golomb’s work areÌý intended. The expected publication date will be by the beginning ofÌý 2018.Ìý
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Nonlinear and linear feedback shift register sequences
- Periodic or aperiodic correlation and linear complexity
- Error correcting codes
- Symmetric cryptography
- Puzzles and games with an information-theoretic flavor
- Information theory and genome-relatedÌý applications
- Pseudorandomness
- Sequences for wireless communication and radar
- Aspects of finite fields, combinatorics,Ìý and exponential sums related to sequencesÌý
