Abstract
We prove the logical independence of a complexity-theoretic and a statistical randomness property of sequences over a finite field. The two properties relate to the linear complexity profile and to the â-distribution of sequences, respectively. The proofs are given by constructing counterexamples to the presumed logical implications between these two properties.
⺠Complexity-theoretic and statistical randomness properties are usually independent. ⺠A good linear complexity profile need not imply an â-distribution. ⺠An â-distribution need not imply a good linear complexity profile.
