Equally spaced polynomial
An equally spaced polynomial (ESP) is a polynomial used in finite fields, specifically GF(2) (binary).
An s-ESP of degree sm can be written as:
- for
or
Properties
Over GF(2) the ESP has many interesting properties, including:
- The Hamming weight of the ESP is m + 1.
A 1-ESP is known as an all one polynomial and has additional properties including the above.
