Summary :

Chaotic response of nonlinear deterministic systems has recently attracted considerable interest of researchers of various branches of science. This paper proposes an application of chaotic phenomena in the field of numerical analysis. Namely, a new method is proposed for designing pseudo-random number generators by making use of chaotic first order nonlinear difference equations. In this paper, in the first place, this design problem is formulated mathematically as an inverse problem of the Perron-Frobenius equation. Here, the Perron-Frobenius equation is the one expressing relationship between a nonlinear transformation generating a certain type of nonlinear difference equations and a density of a distribution function for solutions of such a difference equation, and the inverse problem of the Perron-Frobenius equation is a problem of solving the Perron-Frobenius equation for a nonlinear transformation provided that a density of a distribution function is given. This inverse problem of the Perron-Frobenius equation is then solved under the conditions that the density function is a step function and the nonlinear transformation is a piecewise linear transformation satisfying certain conditions. As an application of this result, it is shown that a uniform random number generator with an arbitrary Kolmogorov's entropy can be constructed. Moreover, a new efficient method is proposed for generating pseudo-random numbers which distribute according to an arbitrary step function type density of a distribution function.
