For which primes does this iterated function act transitively? (Sort of a finite analogue of...

It's easier to work with the inverse permutation. Starting from $1$ and working backwards we end up with a sequence $1=2^0\to \pm 2^1\to \pm 2^2\to \cdots \to\pm 2^{\frac{p-1}{2}}=1$. Where the signs …

Possible behaviors of integer sequences that arise from powering nonnegative integer matrices

The answer is "no" for both questions. The rational functions $a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+\cdots$ with non-negative integer entries which can be obtained by $a_n=u^{T}A^nv$ for some nonnegative vectors $u,v$ a …
