1. Introduction. Vector spaces of binary sequences corresponding to a fixed recursion relation have been extensively studied; the linear recursive sequences of maximal length (m-sequences) have been the subiect of special study and applicationin [1],[2]. The vector space of all m-sequences cor-responding to a fixed recursion relation consists of sequences which are all cyclic phase shifts of one another and one of these phase positions has the property that if the sequence h is sampled by taking every other term, then the resultant sequence is again h, ie, h (2i) h (i) for all i. We designate the linear recursive sequences having this invariance property as characteristic sequences. If the domain of the characteristic linear sequence h of period P is partitioned by theequivalence relation, a b if and only if there exists an integer k such that a b. 2k modulo P, then it is clear that h is constant on the equivalence classes of this relation. In this note we give a constructive determination of characteristic linear sequences and determine the value of characteristic m-sequences of prime period on the equivalence classes described above.2. Notation and background. In this section we review and develop some material which will be needed in the sequel. Let E be the set of all sequences with values in the field of two elements GF (2); this set is an integral domain with respect to the usual operations of sequence addition and multiplication, eg, hi, h E (R) implies (hi and (hh)(tc)= 0h (i) h (tc i). The units of this integral domain are those sequences h E such that h (0) 0. We denote the inverse of the unit h by h-and note that h-1 is the sequence such that hl ()
