Abstract

Arithmetic-geometric mean sequences were already studied over real and complex numbers, and recently, Michael J. Griffin, Ken Ono, Neelam Saikia and Wei-Lun Tsai considered them over finite fields Fq\mathbb{F}_q such that q3(mod4)q \equiv 3 \pmod 4. In this paper, we extend the definition of arithmetic-geometric mean sequences over Fq\mathbb{F}_q such that q5(mod8)q \equiv 5 \pmod 8. We explain the connection of these sequences with graphs and show the properties of the corresponding graphs in the case q5(mod8)q \equiv 5 \pmod 8.

Comments

This paper is based on the bachelor thesis of the first author, cosupervised by the second author in the academic year 2023/2024 at Charles University in Prague. This version is more expository and slightly less formal than the version that will soon be published in the Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society
