Abstract

We present a mapping of the binary prefer-opposite de Bruijn sequence of order n onto the binary prefer-one de Bruijn sequence of order n- 1. The mapping is based on the differentiation operator D(⟨ b1, … , bl⟩) = ⟨ b2- b1, b3- b2, … , bl- bl - 1⟩ where bit subtraction is modulo two. We show that if we take the prefer-opposite sequence ⟨b1,b2,…,b2n⟩, apply D to get the sequence ⟨b^1,…,b^2n-1⟩ and drop all the bits b^ i such that ⟨ b^ i, … , b^ i + n - 1⟩ is a substring of ⟨ b^ 1, … , b^ i + n - 2⟩ , we get the prefer-one de Bruijn sequence of order n- 1.
