Abstract

The minimal number of systems of linear equations with n unknowns over a finite field Fq,  such that the union of all solutions of the systems forms an exact cover for a given subset in Fqn, is the complexity of a linearized covering. An upper bound for the complexity for “almost all” subsets in Fqn is presented.
