Re: p-adic chaos in random number generation: reference materials avail?
"Numbers" Ebbinghaus et al Springer-Verlag ISBN 0-387-97497-0 Has an introduction to p-adic numbers that is about 20 pages and includes some references though nothing really recent. Jim Windle -- On Mon, 9 Apr 2001 14:56:08 Phillip H. Zakas wrote:
hi-
continuing my braid group theory/crypto research (see my jan. thread)...am now working on problems of random number generation. i've only recently begun to explore p-adics, in the context of applying p-adic chaos to random number generation. however i'm stretching the limits of my amateur mathematics background and would appreciate help in finding (what I can't seem to find myself): online and offline introduction to p-adics.
cheers- phillip
