A Simple Nonperiodic Random Number Generator: A Recursive Model for the Logistic Map

Authors: G. H. Sandri; BOSTON UNIV MA
Abstract:
A nonperiodic random number generator which is based on the logistic equation is presented. A simple transformation which operates on the logistic variable and leads to a sequence of random numbers with a near-Gaussian distribution is described and discussed. The associated algorithm can be easily utilized in laboratory exercises, classroom demonstrations and software written for stochastic modelling purposes. Logistic map, Recursive process, Random number generator.
