(** order. The order of elements in the multgroup modulo p.  @author Olga Caprotti and Martijn Oostdijk @version $Revision$ *)
(** (Order b q p) means the order of b is q in multgroup(Z_p). *)
Definition Order (b : Z) (q p : nat) :=
0 < q /\
Mod (Exp b q) 1 p /\ (forall d : nat, 0 < d -> Mod (Exp b d) 1 p -> q <= d).

Lemma orderdec : forall (b : Z) (q p : nat), Order b q p \/ ~ Order b q p.
