It is essential to distinguish between Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs) and True Random Number Generators (TRNGs). PRNGs use algorithms, so the numbers they generate appear random but are ...

There are a great variety of ways to build a random number generator, and similarly many ways to generate numbers that appear random, but in a pure mathematical sense generally aren’t. [Danie… ...

This world of pseudorandom numbers is exotic and full of open problems. Mathematicians think that all sorts of interesting sequences are pseudorandom but have no way to prove that.

Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 51, No. 184 (Oct., 1988), pp. 757-759 (3 pages) A nonlinear congruential pseudorandom number generator is studied where the modulus is a power of two. Investigation of ...

The analogue of Hammersley's theorem on the length of the longest monotonic subsequence of independent, identically, and continuously distributed random variables is obtained for the pseudorandom van ...

You can take the analog approach of using a lot of gain to amplify diode-avalanche noise, or you can design a linear-feedback-shift-register pseudorandom-noise source using multiple CMOS ICs.

[MS3FGX] has done an interesting study about using Bluetooth adapters as a source for Pseudorandom Number Generation (PRNG). As it turns out, the Bluez package has a function that calls a remote Bl… ...

Using a pseudorandom sequence (PRS) generator and some software, you can build a pink-noise generator (equal energy per octave) with 1 dB performance over the audio band, in addition ...
