Random-number functions and CALL routines generate streams of random numbers from an initial starting point, called a seed, that either the user or the computer clock supplies. A seed must be a ...

The Noise sample code associated with this paper includes an implementation of Perlin noise, which is useful for generating natural-looking textures, such as marble and clouds, for 3D graphics. A test ...

In this paper, we introduce a new simple but powerful general technique for the study of edge- and vertex-reinforced processes with super-linear reinforcement, based on the use of order statistics for ...
