THE CLASS OF PERFECT TERNARY ARRAYS

In recent decades, perfect algebraic constructions are successfully being use to signal systems synthesis, to construct block and stream cryptographic algorithms, to create pseudo-random sequence generators as well as in many other fields of science and technology. Among perfect algebraic constructions a significant place is occupied by bent-sequences and the class of perfect binary arrays associated with them. Bent-sequences are used for development of modern cryptographic primitives, as well as for constructing constant amplitude codes (C-codes) used in code division multiple access technology. In turn, perfect binary arrays are used for constructing correction codes, systems of biphase phase- shifted signals and multi-level cryptographic systems. The development of methods of many-valued logic in modern information and communication systems has attracted the attention of researchers to the improvement of methods for synthesizing many-valued bent-sequences for cryptography and information transmission tasks. The new results obtained in the field of the synthesis of ternary bent-sequences, make actual the problem of researching the class of perfect ternary arrays. In this paper we consider the problem of extending the definition of perfect binary arrays to three-valued logic case, as a result of which the definition of a perfect ternary array was introduced on the basis of the determination of the unbalance of the ternary function. A complete class of perfect ternary arrays of the third order is obtained by a regular method, bypassing the search. Thus, it is established that the class of perfect ternary arrays is a union of four subclasses, in each of which the corresponding methods of reproduction are determined. The paper establishes the relationship between the class of ternary bent-sequences and the class of perfect ternary arrays. The obtained results are the basis for the introduction of perfect ternary arrays into modern cryptographic and telecommunication algorithms.
