Original question and givens

Use the complete finite self-map on Fin(8)={0,…,7} given by T(x)=(a*x+b) mod 8, a=5, b=19. Choose the least nonnegative residue, including for negative a*x+b. Time is discrete, indexed from 0; a finite orbit is not a general stability result. Give (modulus, a, b, every x with T(x)=x in increasing order).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
