Random Number Generation and QuasiMonte Carlo Methods (CBMSNSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics, Series Numbe

Tremendous progress has taken place in the related areas of uniform pseudorandom number generation and quasiMonte Carlo methods in the last five years. This volume contains recent important work in these two areas, and stresses the interplay between them. Some developments contained here have never before appeared in book form. Includes the discussion of the integrated treatment of pseudorandom numbers and quasiMonte Carlo methods; the systematic development of the theory of lattice rules and the theory of nets and (t,s)sequences; the construction of new and better lowdiscrepancy point sets and sequences; Nonlinear congruential methods; the initiation of a systematic study of methods for pseudorandom vector generation; and shiftregister pseudorandom numbers.
