Comparison of Randomized Solutions for Constrained Vehicle Routing Problem
In this short paper, we study the capacity-constrained vehicle routing
problem (CVRP) and its solution by randomized Monte Carlo methods. For solving
CVRP we use some pseudorandom number generators commonly used in practice. We
use linear, multiple-recursive, inversive, and explicit inversive congruential
generators and obtain random numbers from each to provide a route for CVRP.
Then we compare the performance of pseudorandom number generators with respect
to the total time the random route takes. We also constructed an open-source
library github.com/iedmrc/binary-cws-mcs on solving CVRP by Monte-Carlo based
heuristic methods.Comment: 6 pages, 2nd International Conference on Electrical, Communication

Portable random number generators
Computers are deterministic devices, and a computer-generated random number is a contradiction in terms. As a result, computer-generated pseudorandom numbers are fraught with peril for the unwary. We summarize much that is known about the most well-known pseudorandom number generators: congruential generators. We also provide machine-independent programs to implement the generators in any language that has 32-bit signed integers-for example C, C++, and FORTRAN. Based on an extensive search, we provide parameter values better than those previously available.Programming (Mathematics) ; Computers
Full Orbit Sequences in Affine Spaces via Fractional Jumps and Pseudorandom Number Generation
Let be a positive integer. In this paper we provide a general theory to
produce full orbit sequences in the affine -dimensional space over a finite
field. For our construction covers the case of the Inversive Congruential
Generators (ICG). In addition, for we show that the sequences produced
using our construction are easier to compute than ICG sequences. Furthermore,
we prove that they have the same discrepancy bounds as the ones constructed
using the ICG.Comment: To appear in Mathematics of Computatio

Pseudorandom number generators for supercomputers and classical computers: A practical introduction.
A Comparative Study of Some Pseudorandom Number Generators
We present results of an extensive test program of a group of pseudorandom
number generators which are commonly used in the applications of physics, in
particular in Monte Carlo simulations. The generators include public domain
programs, manufacturer installed routines and a random number sequence produced
from physical noise. We start by traditional statistical tests, followed by
detailed bit level and visual tests. The computational speed of various
algorithms is also scrutinized. Our results allow direct comparisons between
the properties of different generators, as well as an assessment of the
efficiency of the various test methods. This information provides the best
available criterion to choose the best possible generator for a given problem.
However, in light of recent problems reported with some of these generators, we
also discuss the importance of developing more refined physical tests to find
possible correlations not revealed by the present test methods.Comment: University of Helsinki preprint HU-TFT-93-22 (minor changes in Tables

On the Distribution of the Power Generator over a Residue Ring for Parts of the Period
This paper studies the distribution of the power generator of pseudorandom numbers over a residue ring for parts of the period. These results compliment some recently obtained distribution bounds of the power generator modulo an arbitrary number for the entire period. Also, the arbitrary modulus case may have some cryptography related applications and could be of interest in other settings which require quality pseudorandom numbers.This paper studies the distribution of the power generator of pseudorandom numbers over a residue ring for parts of the period.

On the Degree Growth in Some Polynomial Dynamical Systems and Nonlinear Pseudorandom Number Generators
In this paper we study a class of dynamical systems generated by iterations
of multivariate polynomials and estimate the degreegrowth of these iterations.
We use these estimates to bound exponential sums along the orbits of these
dynamical systems and show that they admit much stronger estimates than in the
general case and thus can be of use for pseudorandom number generation.Comment: Mathematics of Computation (to appear
