A note on primitive roots in finite fields
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2010
Extract
Let K be the finite field of pn elements, and Zp its prime subfield. It was proved by Davenport [3] that if p > p0(n) and θ is any given generating element of K, then there exists an integer m such that θ + m is a primitive root of K.
