Statistics for fixed points of the self-power map

Matthew Friedrichsen, Joshua Holden

The map x -> x^x modulo p is related to a variation of the digital signature scheme in a similar way to the discrete exponentiation map, but it has received much less study. We exp…

Counting Fixed Points, Two-Cycles, and Collisions of the Discrete Exponential Function using p-adic Methods

Joshua Holden, Margaret M. Robinson

Brizolis asked for which primes p greater than 3 does there exist a pair (g, h) such that h is a fixed point of the discrete exponential map with base g, or equivalently h is a fix…

Mapping the Discrete Logarithm

Daniel R. Cloutier, Joshua Holden

The discrete logarithm is a problem that surfaces frequently in the field of cryptography as a result of using the transformation g^a mod n. This paper focuses on a prime modulus,…
