%
% \begin{abstract}
%
% This Package contains macros to generate (pseudo) random numbers
% with \LaTeX\ by a simple linear congruential generator.
% The user can specify a range of integers
% containing the generated random numbers.
%
% To pass options to the package, the \meta{key}=\meta{value}
% scheme of the \texttt{keyval} package is used.
%
% If no options are specified, random numbers will be
% generated in the interval from $1$ to $2^{31}-1 \;\;(= 2147483647)$.
% Let $S$ be the smallest and $L$ the largest number of the specified range,
% then the following inequalities must hold  because of
% limitations of \LaTeX:
%
% $$  -2^{31}+1 \leq S \leq L \leq  2^{31}-1   \qquad\mbox{and}\qquad
%     L-S \leq  2^{31}-2 $$
%
% The generated random numbers will be stored in a \LaTeX\
% counter definable by the user.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{User Interface}
%
% The \texttt{lcg} package is loaded with\\[1ex]
% \hspace*{2ex}\cmd{\usepackage\oarg{list of options}\{lcg\}}.\\[1ex]
% The optional Argument is a comma separated list of entries of
% the kind \key{key}=\key{value} or \key{key}. In the second case
% the key will be set to a standard value.
% For example the line\\[1ex]
% \hspace*{2ex}\cmd{\usepackage[first=10, last=20]\{lcg\}}\\[1ex]
% loads the package and generates the \LaTeX\ counter \cntr{rand}
% which will hold pseudo random numbers from $10$ to $20$.
% All available keys and their standard values are introduced below.
% \begin{macro}{\rand}
% Each call of the command \cmd{\rand} will write a new random number
% to the counter provided by the user with the key \key{counter} or
% to the standard counter of this package---\cntr{rand}. Now
% it's possible to do whatever can be done with counters. The command
% evokes a linear congruential random number generator described below.
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\reinitrand}
% The command \cmd{\reinitrand}\oarg{list of options} has
% one optional argument which is identical to the argument of
% \cmd{\usepackage},
% i.~e. the same keys in the comma separated list are allowed.
% The effect is that specified keys will be set and all others
% will be reset to their standard values.
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\chgrand}
% The syntax of the command \cmd{\chgrand} is identical to \cmd{\reinitrand}.
% The difference is that \cmd{\chgrand} will set the specified keys but
% won't effect any other key.
% \end{macro}
%
% \subsection{The Options}
%
% This section deals with the list of all available keys
% and their standard values.
% \begin{macro}{counter}
% This key sets the name of the \LaTeX\ counter where
% the random numbers will be stored.
% If the counter already exists (maybe somebody likes
% random page numbers), \LaTeX\ will prompt a
% warning and will use it. If the counter doesn't exist,
% it will be defined by this package and set to $0$.\\
% \textbf{Standard value:} rand
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{first}
% This key sets the left boarder of the range within
% random numbers will be generated.
% Its value can be any number from $-2^{31}+1$ to $2^{31}-1$,
% as long as it is not greater than the value of the key \key{last}
% and the difference to the value of \key{last} doesn't exceed
% $2^{31}-2$.\\
% \textbf{Standard value:} $1$
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{last}
% This key sets the right boarder of the range within
% random numbers will be generated. Its value can be any
% number from $-2^{31}+1$ to $2^{31}-1$,
% as long as it is not less than the value of the key \key{first}
% and the difference to the value of \key{first} doesn't exceed
% $2^{31}-2$.\\
% \textbf{Standard value:} $2^{31}-1$
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{seed}
% The value of this key is the starting value
% for the algorithm generating the random numbers
% and must be within the range $1$ to $2^{31}-1$.
% If the value is smaller than $1$,
% the random number generator will
% be initialized with the time, the page number and
% the actual line of the file. This key allows
% reproduction of the sequences of random numbers.\\
% \textbf{Standard value:} $0$
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{quiet}
% When using the \texttt{lcg} package it sends some lines of
% information to the screen and the \texttt{log}-file:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \setlength{\itemsep}{-3pt}
%   \item[--] The name of the counter holding the generated random numbers
%   \item[--] The lower bound of the range of random numbers
%   \item[--] The upper bound of the range of random numbers
%   \item[--] The initial value of the random number generator
% \end{itemize}
% To supress this output this key
% can be used. If the value starts with the letter \emph{y}, \emph{Y},
% \emph{j} or \emph{J}
% there will be no output whereas words beginning
% with the letters \emph{n} or \emph{N} won't supress it.\\
% \textbf{Standard value:} $y$
% \end{macro}
%
% \section{Example}
%
% This documentation loaded the package with:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \usepackage[first=10, last=20]{lcg}\end{verbatim}
% The lines
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand}
%   \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand}
%   \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand}\end{verbatim}
% generate these numbers (all between 10 and 20):
% \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand}
% \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand}
% \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand} \rand\arabic{rand}
%
% Now the counter \cntr{die} should simulate a die and hold
% random numbers from $1$ to $6$. In addition it is demonstrated
% how to switch off the output to the screen and to the \texttt{log}-file.
% This can achieved with one of the following lines:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \reinitrand[last=6, counter=die, quiet]\end{verbatim}
% \reinitrand[last=6, counter=die]
% After that, the numbers
% \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die}
% \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die}.
% are a product of:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die}
%   \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die}\end{verbatim}
% As one can see, the key \meta{first} has been reset to $1$. 
%
% The following lines  will change the range to $-6$ to $+6$
% without modifying any other option:
% \begin{verbatim}   \chgrand[first=-6]\end{verbatim} \chgrand[first=-6]
% Here the numbers
% \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die}
% \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die}
% are stored in a user defined counter and brought to paper
% by:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die} \rand{arabic}{die}
%   \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die} \rand\arabic{die}\end{verbatim}
%
% At last, random numbers between $1$ and $12$ will
% be generated and stored in the standard counter \cntr{rand}.
% The seed will be set to $1234$. There will also be a warning because
% the name of the counter is set to \texttt{rand} which was already
% defined when calling the package:
% \begin{verbatim}   \reinitrand[last=12, seed=1234]\end{verbatim}
% \reinitrand[last=12, seed=1234]
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \rand\Roman{rand} \rand\Roman{rand} \rand\Roman{rand} \end{verbatim}
% These lines produce:  \rand\Roman{rand} \rand\Roman{rand} \rand\Roman{rand}.
% When using other formats than \texttt{arabic} for printing,
% the desired numbers might not appear on the screen
% because these formats don't support the full range of $2^{31}-1$.
%
%
% \section{The Linear Congruential Generator}
%
% The linear congruential generator used produces
% a sequence of numbers $I_j$ in the range from
% $1$ to $m$ by following rule:
% $$ I_{j+1} =   a I_j \mod m  $$
% where $I_0$ is set to a arbitrary starting value (called ``seed'').
% The quality of this generator depends on the choice of the
% parameters $a$ and $m$.
% Another problem is that when implementing the algorithm as above,
% the multiplication might leave the range \LaTeX\ can deal with.
% The solution is Schrage's method [\textsc{W.~Press} et~al.
% \emph{Numerical Recipies in \texttt{C}}\@.
% 2nd edition. Cambridge University Press 1992] which allows
% to perform the multiplications without leaving the given range.
% This is done by introducing two variables $r$ and $q$:
%  $$
%    m = a q + r  \qquad\mbox{with}\qquad
%    q = \left[m/a\right]\quad\mbox{and}\quad r = m \mod a
%  $$
% where $[\,\cdot\,]$ denotes the integer part of the argument.
% If $z$ is an integer and $0 \leq r &lt; q$ and $0 &lt; z &lt; m-1$,
% then the following (in)equalities hold:
% \begin{eqnarray*}
%  &amp;  0 \leq a \cdot (z \mod q) \leq m-1\\
%  &amp;  0 \leq \left[m/a\right] \leq m-1\\
%  &amp;  a z \mod m = \left\{
%       \begin{array}{ll} a \cdot (z \mod q ) -
%           \left[z/q\right] &amp; \mbox{if the term is } \leq 0\\
%               a \cdot (z \mod q ) -
%           \left[z/q\right] + m &amp; \mbox{otherwise}
%       \end{array}\right.
% \end{eqnarray*}
%
% To exploit the whole possible range and guarantee good performance,
% $a$ and $m$ are set as follows:
% $a = 7^5  \; = 16807$ and $m  = 2^{31}-1 \; = 2147483647$ and
% this gives $q=127773$ and $r=2836$.
