  • Abstract
    This paper presents a concise and efficient implementation of a method of producing De Bruijn sequences. The implementation is based on a recursive method due to A. Lempel (1970). We provide code for a function that for each pair of integers n⩾2 and 0⩽x<2n-2 returns a unique De Bruijn sequence of order-n. The implementation requires only O(2n) bit operations
