For the largest value of the control parameter, the logistic map is ab
le to generate an infinite chaotic sequence of numbers. Here we descri
be a simple method for obtaining a random number generator based on th
is property of the logistic map. Comparing to usual congruential rando
m generators, which are periodic, the logistic random number generator
is infinite, aperiodic and not correlated. An aperiodic random number
generator is a valuable tool for computer simulation methods.
