线性同余伪随机数生成器
O(1)记忆
O(k)运算
这个问题可以用一个简单的线性同余发生器来解决。这需要恒定的内存开销(8个整数)和最多2 *(序列长度)的计算。
所有其他解决方案都使用更多的内存和更多的计算资源!如果只需要几个随机序列,则此方法将便宜得多。对于大小范围N
,如果要按N
唯一k
序列或更大的顺序生成,我建议使用内置方法接受的解决方案,random.sample(range(N),k)
因为它已在python中进行了速度优化。
码
# Return a randomized "range" using a Linear Congruential Generator
# to produce the number sequence. Parameters are the same as for
# python builtin "range".
# Memory -- storage for 8 integers, regardless of parameters.
# Compute -- at most 2*"maximum" steps required to generate sequence.
#
def random_range(start, stop=None, step=None):
import random, math
# Set a default values the same way "range" does.
if (stop == None): start, stop = 0, start
if (step == None): step = 1
# Use a mapping to convert a standard range into the desired range.
mapping = lambda i: (i*step) + start
# Compute the number of numbers in this range.
maximum = (stop - start) // step
# Seed range with a random integer.
value = random.randint(0,maximum)
#
# Construct an offset, multiplier, and modulus for a linear
# congruential generator. These generators are cyclic and
# non-repeating when they maintain the properties:
#
# 1) "modulus" and "offset" are relatively prime.
# 2) ["multiplier" - 1] is divisible by all prime factors of "modulus".
# 3) ["multiplier" - 1] is divisible by 4 if "modulus" is divisible by 4.
#
offset = random.randint(0,maximum) * 2 + 1 # Pick a random odd-valued offset.
multiplier = 4*(maximum//4) + 1 # Pick a multiplier 1 greater than a multiple of 4.
modulus = int(2**math.ceil(math.log2(maximum))) # Pick a modulus just big enough to generate all numbers (power of 2).
# Track how many random numbers have been returned.
found = 0
while found < maximum:
# If this is a valid value, yield it in generator fashion.
if value < maximum:
found += 1
yield mapping(value)
# Calculate the next value in the sequence.
value = (value*multiplier + offset) % modulus
用法
此函数“ random_range”的用法与任何生成器(例如“ range”)相同。一个例子:
# Show off random range.
print()
for v in range(3,6):
v = 2**v
l = list(random_range(v))
print("Need",v,"found",len(set(l)),"(min,max)",(min(l),max(l)))
print("",l)
print()
