Abstract

Let Z/(pe) be the integer residue ring with odd prime p and integer e ≥ 2. Any sequence a over Z/(pe) has a unique p-adic expansion a = a0 + a1, ċ p+...+ae-1 ċ pe-1, where ai can be regarded as a sequence over Z/(p) for 0 ≥ i ≥ e-1. Let f(x) be a strongly primitive polynomial over Z/(pe) and a, b be two primitive sequences generated by f(x) over Z/(pe). Assume ϕ (x0, ,..., xe-1) = xe-1 + η(x0,...,xe-2) is an e-variable function over Z/(p) with the monomial p+1/2 xe-2p-1...x1p-1x0p-1 not appearing in the expression of η(x0,x1,...,xe-2). It is shown that if there exists an s ∈ Z/(p) such that ϕ(a0(t),...,ae-1(t)) = s if and only if ϕ(b0(t),...,be-1(t)) = s for all nonnegative t with α(t) ≠ 0, where α is an m-sequence determined by f(x) and a0, then a = b. This implies that for compressing sequences derived from primitive sequences generated by f(x) over Z/(pe), single element distribution is unique on all positions t with α(t) ≠ 0. In particular, when η(x0, x1,..., xe-2) = 0, it is a completion of the former result on the uniqueness of distribution of element 0 in highest level sequences.
