Symmetric 2-adic complexity of Tang–Gong interleaved sequences from generalized GMW sequence pair

Tang–Gong interleaved sequences constructed from the generalized GMW sequence pair are a class of binary sequences with optimal autocorrelation magnitude. In this paper, the symmetric 2-adic complexity of these sequences is investigated. We first derive a lower bound on their 2-adic complexity by extending the method proposed by Hu. Then, by analysing the algebraic structure of these sequences, a lower bound on their symmetric 2-adic complexity is obtained. Our result shows that the symmetric 2-adic complexity of these sequences is large enough to resist attacks with the rational approximation algorithm.
