Hi,
I don't know if anybody knows that but it's worth a shot.
I got some questions concerning the CA based random number generator in
Mathematica:
- what's the number of CA cells used by the generator
- is the CA circular (left neighbor of cell x0 is the 'last' cell xn)?
- how are the random numbers generated (1 bit per CA iteration, multiple
bits per CA iteration)
Thanks,
Siegfried
