    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_numbers

    Computable number: A real number whose digits can be computed by some algorithm. Period: A number which can be computed as the integral of some algebraic function over an algebraic domain. Definable number: A real number that can be defined uniquely using a first-order formula with one free variable in the language of set theory.

  3. Fortuna (PRNG) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortuna_(PRNG)

    Fortuna is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CS-PRNG) devised by Bruce Schneier and Niels Ferguson and published in 2003. It is named after Fortuna, the Roman goddess of chance. FreeBSD uses Fortuna for /dev/random and /dev/urandom is symbolically linked to it since FreeBSD 11. [1] Apple OSes have switched to Fortuna ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehmer_random_number_generator

    The Lehmer random number generator [1] (named after D. H. Lehmer), sometimes also referred to as the Park–Miller random number generator (after Stephen K. Park and Keith W. Miller), is a type of linear congruential generator (LCG) that operates in multiplicative group of integers modulo n. The general formula is

  5. Fictitious telephone number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_telephone_number

    In Hungary, telephone numbers are in the format 06 + area code + subscriber number, where the area code is a single digit 1 for Budapest, the capital, followed by a seven digit subscriber number, and two digits followed by either seven (for cell phone numbers) or six digits (others). for other areas, cell phone numbers or non-geographic numbers ...

    en.wikipedia.org/.../ACORN_(random_number_generator)

    The ACORN generator has not seen the wide adoption of some other PRNGs, although it is included in the Fortran and C library routines of NAG Numerical Library. [5] Various reasons have been put forward for this. [6] Nevertheless, theoretical and empirical research is ongoing to further justify the continuing use of ACORN as a robust and ...

    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.

  8. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics and physics, the term generator or generating set may refer to any of a number of related concepts. The underlying concept in each case is that of a smaller set of objects, together with a set of operations that can be applied to it, that result in the creation of a larger collection of objects, called the generated set .
