Digraphs from endomorphisms of finite cyclic groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We associate each endomorphism of a finite cyclic group with a digraph and study many properties of this digraph, including its adjacent matrix and automorphism group.


Let \(H=\langle x\rangle\) be a finite cyclic group with \(n\) elements, \(n>1\). Every endomorphism of \(H\) has a unique form \(f: x\mapsto x^k\), \(1\leq k\leq n\). We can consider the digraph \(G(n,k)\) that has the elements of \(H\) as vertices and a directed edge \((a,b)\) if \(f(a)=b\).NEWLINENEWLINEThe author studies many properties of this digraph, including its adjacency matrix and automorphism group.
