    [1] In its original form, it is of poor quality and of historical interest only. Lehmer generator: 1951 D. H. Lehmer [2] One of the very earliest and most influential designs. Linear congruential generator (LCG) 1958 W. E. Thomson; A. Rotenberg [3] [4] A generalisation of the Lehmer generator and historically the most influential and studied ...

    In the common case where m is a power of 2 and a ≡ 5 (mod 8) (a desirable property for other reasons), it is always possible to find an initial value X 0 so that the denominator X 1X 0 ≡ ±1 (mod m), producing an even simpler relationship. With this choice of X 0, X n = X 0 ± Y n will remain true for all n.

    The set {3,19} generates the group, which means that every element of (/) is of the form 3 a × 19 b (where a is 0, 1, 2, or 3, because the element 3 has order 4, and similarly b is 0 or 1, because the element 19 has order 2). Smallest primitive root mod n are (0 if no root exists)

    Blum Blum Shub takes the form + =, where M = pq is the product of two large primes p and q.At each step of the algorithm, some output is derived from x n+1; the output is commonly either the bit parity of x n+1 or one or more of the least significant bits of x n+1.

    Then 1000 was subtracted when the leading 1 was dropped. So, the answer obtained (654) is one less than the correct answer . To fix this, 1 is added to the answer: 654 + 1 ————— 655 [x - y] Adding a 1 gives 655, the correct answer to our original subtraction problem.

  7. Mersenne Twister - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister

    The Mersenne Twister is a general-purpose pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) developed in 1997 by Makoto Matsumoto (松本 眞) and Takuji Nishimura (西村 拓士). [1] [2] Its name derives from the choice of a Mersenne prime as its period length. The Mersenne Twister was designed specifically to rectify most of the flaws found in older PRNGs.

  8. Coprime integers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprime_integers

    This is equivalent to their greatest common divisor (GCD) being 1. [2] One says also a is prime to b or a is coprime with b. The numbers 8 and 9 are coprime, despite the fact that neither—considered individually—is a prime number, since 1 is their only common divisor. On the other hand, 6 and 9 are not coprime, because they are both ...

  9. Modular multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    However, the linear congruence 4x ≡ 6 (mod 10) has two solutions, namely, x = 4 and x = 9. The gcd(4, 10) = 2 and 2 does not divide 5, but does divide 6. Since gcd(3, 10) = 1, the linear congruence 3x ≡ 1 (mod 10) will have solutions, that is, modular multiplicative inverses of 3 modulo 10 will exist. In fact, 7 satisfies this congruence (i ...
