  • Abstract
    The triple autocorrelation of a sequence is shown to be a Lempel Costas array iff the sequence is maximal, assuming correlation is appropriately defined and the alphabet of the sequence is of prime size. A method that allows the construction of thumbtack autocorrelation sequences of arbitrary alphabet size is subsequently proposed.
