MA-581K/CSC-691K Homework 4 (due November 5 at 5pm)


Consider the sequence a0 = 1, a1 = 1, a2 = 2,...,ai = binomial(i,[i/2]),... of middle entries in the Pascal triangle. Investigate how the Berlekamp/Massey algorithm attempts to compute a linear generator for this sequence. In particular, can you give explicit formulas for the Lambda and B polynomials and the discrepancies Delta?
