Abstract
Recent exact analytical results developed for random number generators with taps are reported. These results are applicable to a wide class of algorit hms, including random walks, cluster algorithms, Ising models. Practical co nsiderations on the improvement of the quality of random numbers are discus sed as well. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
