Further Results on Pure Summing Registers and Complementary Ones

Abstract

We decide completely the cycle structure of pure summing register (PSR) and complementary summing register (CSR). Based on the state diagram of CSR, we derive an algorithm to generate de Bruijn cycles from CSR inspired by Tuvi Etzion's publication in 1984. We then point out the limitation in generalizations of extended representation we use in the algorithm proposed, with a proof of the fact that only PSR and CSR contain pure cycles all dividing n + 1.
