Berlekamp–Massey algorithm
ID: berlekamp-massey-algorithm
The Berlekamp–Massey algorithm is a fundamental algorithm in coding theory and information theory used to find the shortest linear feedback shift register (LFSR) that can generate a given finite sequence of output. It is particularly useful for determining the linear recurrence relations for a sequence, which is essential in applications such as error correction coding, cryptography, and sequence analysis.
