Detailed Description

Abstract base class of random generators using the Gnu Scientific Library (GSL) to implement a certain random generator.

Any of these are seeded by subsequent calls of the system's random number generator rand(), which in turn can be seeded by the user through srand().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

simth::RandomGeneratorGsl::RandomGeneratorGsl (  const gsl_rng_type &  generatorAlgorithm = *gsl_rng_taus  )

Constructor that takes as argument the type of the used algortihm to generate the random variables. Default argument is gsl_rng_taus that produces a 'maximally equidistributed combined Tausworthe generator by L'Ecuyer'. (See GSL reference manual for further information).

virtual simth::RandomGeneratorGsl::~RandomGeneratorGsl (   )  [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

const gsl_rng* simth::RandomGeneratorGsl::rng (   )  const [inline, protected]

Returns a handle to the gsl (gnu scientific library) random generator.
