Ran056 Type
Ran056: Knuth's lagged Fibonacci random generator with 3-decimation. Returns integer random numbers uniformly distributed within [0,2147483647]. The period is 2^55/3 > 1.2*10^16.
- At least 32 bit long int is required, but works with any larger
word lengths
- This is the same lagged Fibonacci generator as Ran055
x(n) = ( x(n-55) - x(n-24) ) mod 2^31
- but a decimation strategy is applied to remove the known
correlations. Only every 3rd number will be used:
