| Feb 24, 2014 at 21:18 | comment | added | Dima Pasechnik | What do you mean by "explicitly" finding $a$? No, I don't think there is some magic formula for it; one needs to do computations, generally speaking. There is a special class of irreducible polynomials, called primitive, for which any root has maximal period. Again, there is no generally known formula how to find such polynomials. | |
