Abstract (EN):
It is well-known that the maximum exponent that an n-by-n boolean primitive circulant matrix can attain is n-1. In this paper, we find the maximum exponent attained by n-by-n boolean primitive circulant matrices with constant number of nonzero entries in their generating vector. We also give matrices attaining such exponents. Solving this problem we also solve two equivalent problems: 1) find the maximum exponent attained by primitive Cayley digraphs on a cyclic group whose vertices have constant outdegree; 2) determine the maximum order of abasis for Z(n) with fixed cardinality.
