Abstract

A sequence of elements from a finite field satisfies the shift and add property if the componentwise sum of any two shifts of the sequence is either a shift of the sequence or the all zero sequence. A sequence whose elements lie in an arbitrary group satisfies the shift and multiply property if the componentwise product of any two shifts of the sequence is either a shift of the sequence or the all identity sequence. The paper classifies sequences which have the shift and add property or the shift and multiply property.
