- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable,RandomGenerator
This class implements the WELL512a pseudo-random number generator
from François Panneton, Pierre L'Ecuyer and Makoto Matsumoto.
This generator is described in a paper by François Panneton, Pierre L'Ecuyer and Makoto Matsumoto Improved Long-Period Generators Based on Linear Recurrences Modulo 2 ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, 32, 1 (2006). The errata for the paper are in wellrng-errata.txt.

Well512a
public Well512a()Creates a new random number generator.The instance is initialized using the current time as the seed.
-
Well512a
public Well512a(int seed) Creates a new random number generator using a single int seed.- Parameters:
seed- the initial seed (32 bits integer)
-
Well512a
public Well512a(int[] seed) Creates a new random number generator using an int array seed.- Parameters:
seed- the initial seed (32 bits integers array), if null the seed of the generator will be related to the current time
-
