Dec 12, 2022 · I want to show that subtraction is primitive recursive: $subtract(x,y)=x-y$. To do this, I must first show that pred function: $pred(x)=x-1$ is also primitive ...

Jul 23, 2018 · So I encountered this proof on a Number Theory book, I will link the pdf at the end of the post (proof at page 96), it says: "Every prime has a primitive root, proof: Let p be a …

Jan 6, 2019 · If I had to guess, I would say that calling the antiderivative as primitive is of French origin. Is one term more popular than the other?

Mar 7, 2018 · Let $p$ be an odd prime, let $g$ be a primitive root of $p$. Prove $-g$ is a primitive root of $p$ if and only if $$p\\equiv1\\pmod{4}$$ Hint: express $-g$ as $g^{k ...

Aug 10, 2015 · Jyrki, I know that, but what extension are we talking about here? If the OP really wanted that then any irreducible polynomial over some field $\,\Bbb F\,$ with a root $\,w\,$ in …

Jan 21, 2012 · Show that the primitive n-th roots of unity have the form $e^ {2ki\pi/n}$ for $k,n$ coprime for $0\leq k\leq n$. Since all primitive n-th roots of unity are n-th ...

Sep 1, 2015 · So I'm trying to learn about RSA and have come across various subtopics, including the discrete logarithm problem. This mentions primitive roots, which I do not understand. …

Dec 8, 2013 · This is hard. To see how hard,have a look at this paper: Finding primitive elements in finite fields of small characteristic.
