of the integer "alpha_to[i]" with a(0) being the LSB and a(m-1) the MSB. Thus for
example the polynomial representation of @^5 would be given by the binary
representation of the integer "alpha_to[5]".
- Similarily, index_of[] can be used as follows:
+ Similarly, index_of[] can be used as follows:
As above, let @ represent the primitive element of GF(2^m) that is
the root of the primitive polynomial p(x). In order to find the power
of @ (alpha) that has the polynomial representation
NOTE:
The element alpha_to[2^m-1] = 0 always signifying that the
representation of "@^infinity" = 0 is (0,0,0,...,0).
- Similarily, the element index_of[0] = A0 always signifying
+ Similarly, the element index_of[0] = A0 always signifying
that the power of alpha which has the polynomial representation
(0,0,...,0) is "infinity".
