  2. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    It can be shown that if is a pseudo-random number generator for the uniform distribution on (,) and if is the CDF of some given probability distribution , then is a pseudo-random number generator for , where : (,) is the percentile of , i.e. ():= {: ()}. Intuitively, an arbitrary distribution can be simulated from a simulation of the standard ...

  3. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

    In the asymptotic setting, a family of deterministic polynomial time computable functions : {,} {,} for some polynomial p, is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG, or PRG in some references), if it stretches the length of its input (() > for any k), and if its output is computationally indistinguishable from true randomness, i.e. for any probabilistic polynomial time algorithm A, which ...

  4. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    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]. A linear congruential generator (LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation.

  5. Blum Blum Shub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blum_Blum_Shub

    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.

  6. Maze generation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_generation_algorithm

    This algorithm is a randomized version of Kruskal's algorithm. Create a list of all walls, and create a set for each cell, each containing just that one cell. For each wall, in some random order: If the cells divided by this wall belong to distinct sets: Remove the current wall. Join the sets of the formerly divided cells.

  7. Brute-force search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_search

    This is the case, for example, in critical applications where any errors in the algorithm would have very serious consequences or when using a computer to prove a mathematical theorem. Brute-force search is also useful as a baseline method when benchmarking other algorithms or metaheuristics. Indeed, brute-force search can be viewed as the ...

  8. Call graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_graph

    A call graph generated for a simple computer program in Python. A call graph (also known as a call multigraph [1] [2]) is a control-flow graph, [3] which represents calling relationships between subroutines in a computer program.

  9. Sethi–Ullman algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethi–Ullman_algorithm

    The simple Sethi–Ullman algorithm works as follows (for a load/store architecture): . Traverse the abstract syntax tree in pre- or postorder . For every leaf node, if it is a non-constant left-child, assign a 1 (i.e. 1 register is needed to hold the variable/field/etc.), otherwise assign a 0 (it is a non-constant right child or constant leaf node (RHS of an operation – literals, values)).
