Entropy of Mersenne-Twisters
Abstract
The Mersenne-Twister is one of the most popular generators of uniform pseudo-random numbers. It is used in many numerical libraries and software. In this paper, we look at the Komolgorov entropy of the original Mersenne-Twister, as well as of more modern variations such as the 64-bit Mersenne-Twisters, the Well generators, and the Melg generators.
