Keywords:
Tribonacci; modular periodicity; periodic sequence
Summary:
Our research was inspired by the relations between the primitive periods of sequences obtained by reducing Tribonacci sequence by a given prime modulus $p$ and by its powers $p^t$, which were deduced by M. E. Waddill. In this paper we derive similar results for the case of a Tribonacci sequence that starts with an arbitrary triple of integers.
