Abstract:
For vertices
$i$ and
$j$ in a digraph
$\Gamma$, the last is called
$i\times j$-primitive if for some
$\gamma\in\mathbb{N}$ and any integer
$t\ge\gamma$, there is a path of length
$t$ from
$i$ to
$j$ in
$\Gamma$. The least such
$\gamma$ is called
$i\times j$-exponent of
$\Gamma$ and is noted as
$i\times j\text{-exp}\,\Gamma$. Because of mathematical model generality, it is not always easy to use the universal criterion of digraph
$i\times j$-primitiveness and the universal estimation of digraph
$i\times j$-exponent obtained by S. N. Kyazhin and V. M. Fomichev. In the paper, some criteria of digraph
$i\times j$-primitiveness and an estimations of digraph
$i\times j$-exponent in two special cases are given.
For vertices
$i$ and
$j$ being achievable from each other, that is, belonging to a strongly connected component
$U$, the graph
$\Gamma$ is
$i\times j$-primitive if and only if
$U$ is primitive. If
$\Gamma$ is
$i\times j$-primitive, then $i\times j\text{-exp}\,\Gamma\le u(r-1)+G(\hat{C})+\rho(i,\tilde{U}(\hat{C}))+\theta(\tilde{U}(\hat{C}),j)-\sum\limits_{s=1}^r(l_s+(s-2)\lambda_s)+1$, where
$u$ is the number of vertices in
$U$;
$\hat{C}$ is a primitive system of
$k$ directed cycles in
$U$ of lengths
$l_1,\ldots,l_k$;
$\tilde{U}(\hat{C})$ is the set of vertices of digraph
$U(\hat{C})=\bigcup\limits_{C\in\hat{C}}C$ which contains
$r$ connected components,
$r\le k$;
$\lambda_s$ is the sum of lengths of directed cycles in the
$s$-th connected component in
$U(\hat{C})$,
$s=1,\ldots,r$;
$G(\hat{C})=g(l_1,\ldots,l_k)$ is Frobenius number;
$\rho(i,J)$ is the least distance between
$i$ and a subset
$J$ of vertices;
$\theta(J,j)$ is the least distance between
$J$ and
$j$.
For
$i$ not being achievable from
$j$, the graph
$\Gamma$ is
$i\times j$-primitive if and only if for some
$d\in\mathbb{N}$ and subset
$P$ of the set of paths from
$i$ to
$j$, the set
$\mathrm{spc}\,P$ is
$d$-full, and for some
$a\in\mathbb{Z}$, $\text{spc}\,W(i,j)\supseteq \mathrm{spc}\,P+\mathbb{Z}(a,d)$, where
$\mathrm{spc}\,W(i,j)$ is the set of path lengths from
$i$ to
$j$;
$\mathrm{spc}\,P$ is the set of path lengths in
$P$;
$d$-full set is the complete residue system modulo
$d$; $\mathbb{Z}(a,d)=\{z\in \mathbb{Z}: z=a+kd, k\in \mathbb{N}\}$; $\text{spc}\,P+\mathbb{Z}(a,d)=\{x+y:(x,y)\in \text{spc}\,P\times\mathbb{Z}(a,d)\}$. If
$\Gamma$ is
$i\times j$-primitive, then $i\times j\text{-exp}\,\Gamma\le \xi_d(\text{spc}\,P)+a+d$, where
$\xi_d(\text{spc}\,P)$ is the minimal number in
$\mathbb{N}$ such that, for all $a\in\{\xi_d(\text{spc}\,P),\xi_d(\text{spc}\,P)+1,\ldots, \xi_d(\text{spc}\,P)+d-1\}$, there is
$b\in\text{spc}\,P$ that
$b\le a$ and
$b$ is congruent to
$a$ modulo
$d$.
By means of the result the derivation of
$i\times j$-primitiveness conditions and
$i\times j$-exponent estimations for various classes of digraphs is reduced to the estimation of appropriate numbers
$a$ and
$d$. The results simplify local primitiveness recognition for concrete mixing digraphs of cryptographic transformations.
