Jan 12, 2010 at 23:29 comment added S. Carnahan The characterization that Voloch gave implies the $r$-primitive root property is independent of the choice of nonzero initial vector $(x\_0, \dots, x\_{r-1})$, since all nonzero vectors are reached by a maximal length cycle. More specifically, if there were a shorter cycle with a nonzero initial value, then there wouldn't be enough elements left in a field with $p^r$ elements to make a disjoint cycle that satisfied the $r$-primitive root property.
