Abstract
We study Ducci-sequences using basic properties of cyclotomic polynomials over F 2 . We determine the period of a given Ducci-sequence in terms of the order of a polynomial, and in terms of the multiplicative orders of certain elements in finite fields. We also compute some examples and study links between Ducci-sequences, primitive polynomials and Artin's conjecture on primitive roots.
