  2. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    Each row shows the state evolving until it repeats. The top row shows a generator with m = 9, a = 2, c = 0, and a seed of 1, which produces a cycle of length 6. The second row is the same generator with a seed of 3, which produces a cycle of length 2. Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8].

  3. Multiply-with-carry pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply-with-carry...

    Use of lag-r CMWC makes it much easier to find periods for r ' s as large as 512, 1024, 2048, etc. (Making r a power of 2 makes it slightly simpler to access elements in the array containing the r most recent x ' s.) Another advantage of this modified procedure is that the period is a multiple of b, so the output is exactly equidistributed mod ...

    The seed x 0 should be an integer that is co-prime to M (i.e. p and q are not factors of x 0) and not 1 or 0. The two primes, p and q , should both be congruent to 3 (mod 4) (this guarantees that each quadratic residue has one square root which is also a quadratic residue), and should be safe primes with a small gcd (( p-3 ) /2 , ( q-3 ) /2 ...

  6. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value, called the PRNG's seed (which may include truly random values). Although sequences that are closer to truly random can be generated using hardware random number generators , pseudorandom number generators are important in practice for their ...

  7. Seed dispersal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_dispersal

    Epilobium hirsutum seed head dispersing seeds. In spermatophyte plants, seed dispersal is the movement, spread or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. [1] Plants have limited mobility and rely upon a variety of dispersal vectors to transport their seeds, including both abiotic vectors, such as the wind, and living vectors such as birds.

  8. Modulo (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_(mathematics)

    Modulo is a mathematical jargon that was introduced into mathematics in the book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1801. [3] Given the integers a, b and n, the expression "a ≡ b (mod n)", pronounced "a is congruent to b modulo n", means that a − b is an integer multiple of n, or equivalently, a and b both share the same remainder when divided by n.

  9. Blum–Goldwasser cryptosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blum–Goldwasser_cryptosystem

    Decryption is accomplished by manipulating the final state of the BBS generator using the private key, in order to find the initial seed and reconstruct the keystream. The BG cryptosystem is semantically secure based on the assumed intractability of integer factorization ; specifically, factoring a composite value N = p q {\displaystyle N=pq ...
