Abstract:
The set structure of primitive systems of natural numbers is described, and the main properties of such systems are installed. An algorithm for enumerating primitive systems of numbers not exceeding a given number $m$ is constructed using the concepts of deadlockness and $k$-minimalities of primitive systems. Also, some algorithms are offered for determining the primitiveness index of a finite directed graph by means of depth-first search and the exponentiation of the vertex adjacency matrix. Computational complexity of the algorithms is estimated.
Keywords:primitive system of natural numbers, primitive matrix, primitive graph, exponent, subexponent.
