The '''Berlekamp–Massey algorithm''' is an [[algorithm]] that will find the shortest [[linear feedback shift register]] (LFSR) for a given binary output sequence. The algorithm will also find the [[Minimal polynomial (field theory)|minimal polynomial]] of a linearly [[Recurrence relation|recurrent sequence]] in an arbitrary [[field (mathematics)|field]]. The field requirement means that the Berlekamp–Massey algorithm requires all non-zero elements to have a multiplicative inverse.<ref>{{Harvnb|Reeds|Sloane|1985|p=2}}</ref> Reeds and Sloane offer an extension to handle a [[ring (mathematics)|ring]].<ref>{{Citation |lastlast1=Reeds |firstfirst1=J.
