Linear combinations of primitive elements of a finite field

Abstract We examine linear sums of primitive roots and their inverses in finite fields. In particular, we refine a result by Li and Han, and show that every p > 13 has a pair of primitive roots a and b such that a + b and a − 1 + b − 1 are also primitive roots mod p.
