A220555 T(n,k) = maximal order N of cyclic group {D,D^2,...,D^N} generated by an n X n Danzer matrix D over Z/kZ, where D is from the m-th Danzer basis and m=2*n+1. 5

COMMENTS
For definition of Danzer matrix see [Jeffery] (notation differs there!).
Conjecture 1. Let F_n(x)=sum_{j=0..n} A187660(n,j)*x^{(n-1)*j}. Let f_n in Z[x] be any polynomial in x of degree d such that 0<=d<=(n-1)*(n-2). Then the sequence of coefficients of the series expansion of f_n(x)/F_n(x), when taken over Z/kZ, is periodic with period p <= (n-1)*A220555(n,k), for all n,k > 1. (Cf. [Coleman, et al.] for the case for n=2 (generalized Fibonacci).)
Conjecture 2. If G a cyclic multiplicative group generated by an n X n integer matrix over Z/kZ, then |G|<=T(r,k), for some r<=n.
Definition. If T(n,k)>=(k^n-1)/(k-1), for some k>1, then T(n,k) is said to be "optimal."
Conjecture 3. If T(n,k) is optimal, then n is a Queneau number (A054639).
Sequence is read from antidiagonals of array T which begins as

Rows might be related to Jordan totient functions J_n(k), however, some entries T(n,k) are products of factors of the form (j^n-1)/(j-1).
