A divisionless form of the Schur Berlekamp-Massey algorithm

A procedure exists for mapping the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm (BMA) into so-called Schur form. This procedure will be shown here to be applicable to the development of a divisionless Schur BMA. When the BMA is combined with the Schur BMA the result is an efficient parallel algorithm for the computation of the error-locator polynomial which is used in the decoding of Reed-Solomon, or, more generally, Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem codes.
