On the Cycle Structure of Repeated Exponentiation Modulo a Prime Power

Number Theory 2011-08-23 v2

Abstract

We obtain some results about the repeated exponentiation modulo a prime power from the viewpoint of arithmetic dynamical systems. Especially, we extend two asymptotic formulas about periodic points and tails in the case of modulo a prime to the case of modulo a prime power.
