COMMENTS

Primitive roots of 7. The first differences are periodic: 2,5,2,5,2,5.... - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Feb 29 2008

FORMULA

a(n)=-4+(1/2)*Sum_{k=0..n}{7-3*(-1)^n}, with n>=1 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Feb 29 2008

a(n)=7*n-a(n-1)-6, n>1. [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 05 2010]

Contribution from Bruno Berselli (berselli.bruno(AT)yahoo.it), Sep 08 2010: (Start)

G.f.: x*(3+2*x+2*x^2)/((1+x)*(1-x)^2).

a(n)-a(n-1)-a(n-2)+a(n-3)=0 for n>3.

a(n)=(14*n-5-3*(-1)^n)/4. (End)

MAPLE

P:=proc(n, m) local a, i, ok; for i from 1 by 1 to n do if (i^(m-1) mod m)=1 then a:=1; ok:=1; while a<m-1 do if (i^a mod m)=1 then ok:=0; fi; a:=a+1; od; if ok=1 then print(i); fi; fi; od; end: P(100, 7); - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Feb 29 2008
