Comments

More precisely: minimum value for X=2 of polynomials P[X] with coefficients in GF(2) such that X^n+P[X] is primitive. Applications include maximum-length linear feedback shift registers with efficient implementation in software.

Examples

			a(11)=5, or 101 in binary, representing the GF(2)[X] polynomial X^2+1, because X^11+X^2+1 is primitive, contrary to X^11, X^11+1, X^11+X^1, X^11+X^1+1 and X^11+X^2.

Crossrefs

2^n+a(n) is the smallest member of A091250 at least 2^n. A132447(n) = a(n)+2^n and gives the corresponding primitive polynomial. Cf. A132450, similar, with restriction to at most 5 terms. Cf. A132452, similar, with restriction to exactly 5 terms. Cf. A132454, similar, with restriction to minimal number of terms.
