18.5 Quasi-random number generator algorithms

The following quasi-random sequence algorithms are available,

— Generator: gsl_qrng_niederreiter_2

This generator uses the algorithm described in Bratley, Fox, Niederreiter, ACM Trans. Model. Comp. Sim. 2, 195 (1992). It is valid up to 12 dimensions.

— Generator: gsl_qrng_sobol

This generator uses the Sobol sequence described in Antonov, Saleev, USSR Comput. Maths. Math. Phys. 19, 252 (1980). It is valid up to 40 dimensions.
