Abstract

In this paper, by investigating vector $\emph{\textbf{s}}\in F_q$ of length $n$ (or equivalent sequences of period $n$) with infinite third depth, and the cyclic-left-shift-difference operator \emph{\textbf{E}}-\emph{\textbf{1}} on $\emph{\textbf{s}}$, an ultimate period sequence \SpecialSequence\ is constructed. Some upper bounds on the ultimate period of \SpecialSequence\ and a method to determine the least ultimate period are provided. Furthermore, distributions of vectors \emph{\textbf{s}} with period $n=p^r-1$ ($r>0$), are described in terms of the least ultimate periods of their respective sequences \SpecialSequence.
