It is the primary area for which the author, dr golomb, received the us national medal of science. A maximum length sequence mls is a type of pseudorandom binary sequence they are bit sequences generated using maximal linear feedback shift registers and are so called because they are periodic and reproduce every binary sequence except the zero vector that can be represented by the shift registers i.
