Abstract

In this study, we improve the pseudo-random number generation algorithm of Java based on the logistic map. We replace the seed of the random generation algorithm with a sequence of numbers which is generated by the original logistic map and the improved logistic map. And then we describe the two improved algorithms in detail including the essence of two algorithms and the processes. Also we display a series of experiments to prove the improved algorithms have a good randomness and they are efficient. Eventually we conclude our study and list our future study. The two improved pseudo-random number generation algorithms take advantage of the chaotic characteristics of the logistic map which makes it become much more efficient.
