-% graphicx was written by David Carlisle and Sebastian Rahtz. It is
-% required if you want graphics, photos, etc. graphicx.sty is already
-% installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest version and documentation
-% can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/graphicx
-% Another good source of documentation is "Using Imported Graphics in
-% LaTeX2e" by Keith Reckdahl which can be found at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/epslatex
-%
-% latex, and pdflatex in dvi mode, support graphics in encapsulated
-% postscript (.eps) format. pdflatex in pdf mode supports graphics
-% in .pdf, .jpeg, .png and .mps (metapost) formats. Users should ensure
-% that all non-photo figures use a vector format (.eps, .pdf, .mps) and
-% not a bitmapped formats (.jpeg, .png). The IEEE frowns on bitmapped formats
-% which can result in "jaggedy"/blurry rendering of lines and letters as
-% well as large increases in file sizes.

-% *** MATH PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage{amsmath}
-% A popular package from the American Mathematical Society that provides
-% many useful and powerful commands for dealing with mathematics.
-%
-% Note that the amsmath package sets \interdisplaylinepenalty to 10000
-% thus preventing page breaks from occurring within multiline equations. Use:
-%\interdisplaylinepenalty=2500
-% after loading amsmath to restore such page breaks as IEEEtran.cls normally
-% does. amsmath.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest
-% version and documentation can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/amsmath
-
-
-
-
-
-% *** SPECIALIZED LIST PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage{algorithmic}
-% algorithmic.sty was written by Peter Williams and Rogerio Brito.
-% This package provides an algorithmic environment fo describing algorithms.
-% You can use the algorithmic environment in-text or within a figure
-% environment to provide for a floating algorithm. Do NOT use the algorithm
-% floating environment provided by algorithm.sty (by the same authors) or
-% algorithm2e.sty (by Christophe Fiorio) as the IEEE does not use dedicated
-% algorithm float types and packages that provide these will not provide
-% correct IEEE style captions. The latest version and documentation of
-% algorithmic.sty can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/algorithms
-% Also of interest may be the (relatively newer and more customizable)
-% algorithmicx.sty package by Szasz Janos:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/algorithmicx
-
-
-
-
-% *** ALIGNMENT PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage{array}
-% Frank Mittelbach's and David Carlisle's array.sty patches and improves
-% the standard LaTeX2e array and tabular environments to provide better
-% appearance and additional user controls. As the default LaTeX2e table
-% generation code is lacking to the point of almost being broken with
-% respect to the quality of the end results, all users are strongly
-% advised to use an enhanced (at the very least that provided by array.sty)
-% set of table tools. array.sty is already installed on most systems. The
-% latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/array
-
-
-% IEEEtran contains the IEEEeqnarray family of commands that can be used to
-% generate multiline equations as well as matrices, tables, etc., of high
-% quality.

-
-% *** SUBFIGURE PACKAGES ***
-%\ifCLASSOPTIONcompsoc
-% \usepackage[caption=false,font=normalsize,labelfont=sf,textfont=sf]{subfig}
-%\else
-% \usepackage[caption=false,font=footnotesize]{subfig}
-%\fi
-% subfig.sty, written by Steven Douglas Cochran, is the modern replacement
-% for subfigure.sty, the latter of which is no longer maintained and is
-% incompatible with some LaTeX packages including fixltx2e. However,
-% subfig.sty requires and automatically loads Axel Sommerfeldt's caption.sty
-% which will override IEEEtran.cls' handling of captions and this will result
-% in non-IEEE style figure/table captions. To prevent this problem, be sure
-% and invoke subfig.sty's "caption=false" package option (available since
-% subfig.sty version 1.3, 2005/06/28) as this is will preserve IEEEtran.cls
-% handling of captions.
-% Note that the Computer Society format requires a larger sans serif font
-% than the serif footnote size font used in traditional IEEE formatting
-% and thus the need to invoke different subfig.sty package options depending
-% on whether compsoc mode has been enabled.
-%
-% The latest version and documentation of subfig.sty can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/subfig
-
-
-
-
-% *** FLOAT PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage{fixltx2e}
-% fixltx2e, the successor to the earlier fix2col.sty, was written by
-% Frank Mittelbach and David Carlisle. This package corrects a few problems
-% in the LaTeX2e kernel, the most notable of which is that in current
-% LaTeX2e releases, the ordering of single and double column floats is not
-% guaranteed to be preserved. Thus, an unpatched LaTeX2e can allow a
-% single column figure to be placed prior to an earlier double column
-% figure.
-% Be aware that LaTeX2e kernels dated 2015 and later have fixltx2e.sty's
-% corrections already built into the system in which case a warning will
-% be issued if an attempt is made to load fixltx2e.sty as it is no longer
-% needed.
-% The latest version and documentation can be found at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fixltx2e
-
-
-%\usepackage{stfloats}
-% stfloats.sty was written by Sigitas Tolusis. This package gives LaTeX2e
-% the ability to do double column floats at the bottom of the page as well
-% as the top. (e.g., "\begin{figure*}[!b]" is not normally possible in
-% LaTeX2e). It also provides a command:
-%\fnbelowfloat
-% to enable the placement of footnotes below bottom floats (the standard
-% LaTeX2e kernel puts them above bottom floats). This is an invasive package
-% which rewrites many portions of the LaTeX2e float routines. It may not work
-% with other packages that modify the LaTeX2e float routines. The latest
-% version and documentation can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/stfloats
-% Do not use the stfloats baselinefloat ability as the IEEE does not allow
-% \baselineskip to stretch. Authors submitting work to the IEEE should note
-% that the IEEE rarely uses double column equations and that authors should try
-% to avoid such use. Do not be tempted to use the cuted.sty or midfloat.sty
-% packages (also by Sigitas Tolusis) as the IEEE does not format its papers in
-% such ways.
-% Do not attempt to use stfloats with fixltx2e as they are incompatible.
-% Instead, use Morten Hogholm'a dblfloatfix which combines the features
-% of both fixltx2e and stfloats:
-%
-% \usepackage{dblfloatfix}
-% The latest version can be found at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dblfloatfix
-
-
-
-
-%\ifCLASSOPTIONcaptionsoff
-% \usepackage[nomarkers]{endfloat}
-% \let\MYoriglatexcaption\caption
-% \renewcommand{\caption}[2][\relax]{\MYoriglatexcaption[#2]{#2}}
-%\fi
-% endfloat.sty was written by James Darrell McCauley, Jeff Goldberg and
-% Axel Sommerfeldt. This package may be useful when used in conjunction with
-% IEEEtran.cls' captionsoff option. Some IEEE journals/societies require that
-% submissions have lists of figures/tables at the end of the paper and that
-% figures/tables without any captions are placed on a page by themselves at
-% the end of the document. If needed, the draftcls IEEEtran class option or
-% \CLASSINPUTbaselinestretch interface can be used to increase the line
-% spacing as well. Be sure and use the nomarkers option of endfloat to
-% prevent endfloat from "marking" where the figures would have been placed
-% in the text. The two hack lines of code above are a slight modification of
-% that suggested by in the endfloat docs (section 8.4.1) to ensure that
-% the full captions always appear in the list of figures/tables - even if
-% the user used the short optional argument of \caption[]{}.
-% IEEE papers do not typically make use of \caption[]'s optional argument,
-% so this should not be an issue. A similar trick can be used to disable
-% captions of packages such as subfig.sty that lack options to turn off
-% the subcaptions:
-% For subfig.sty:
-% \let\MYorigsubfloat\subfloat
-% \renewcommand{\subfloat}[2][\relax]{\MYorigsubfloat[]{#2}}
-% However, the above trick will not work if both optional arguments of
-% the \subfloat command are used. Furthermore, there needs to be a
-% description of each subfigure *somewhere* and endfloat does not add
-% subfigure captions to its list of figures. Thus, the best approach is to
-% avoid the use of subfigure captions (many IEEE journals avoid them anyway)
-% and instead reference/explain all the subfigures within the main caption.
-% The latest version of endfloat.sty and its documentation can obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/endfloat
-%
-% The IEEEtran \ifCLASSOPTIONcaptionsoff conditional can also be used
-% later in the document, say, to conditionally put the References on a
-% page by themselves.
-
-
-
-
-% *** PDF, URL AND HYPERLINK PACKAGES ***
-%
-%\usepackage{url}
-% url.sty was written by Donald Arseneau. It provides better support for
-% handling and breaking URLs. url.sty is already installed on most LaTeX
-% systems. The latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
-% http://www.ctan.org/pkg/url
-% Basically, \url{my_url_here}.
-
-
-
-
-% *** Do not adjust lengths that control margins, column widths, etc. ***
-% *** Do not use packages that alter fonts (such as pslatex). ***
-% There should be no need to do such things with IEEEtran.cls V1.6 and later.
-% (Unless specifically asked to do so by the journal or conference you plan
-% to submit to, of course. )

-This paper is dedicated to the design of chaotic random generators
-and extends previous works proposed by some of the authors.
-We propose a theoretical framework proving both the chaotic properties and
-that the limit distribution is uniform.
-A theoretical bound on the stationary time is given and
-practical experiments show that the generators successfully pass
-the classical statistical tests.
+Designing a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is a hard and complex task.
+Many recent works have considered chaotic functions as the basis of built
+PRNGs:
+the quality of the output would be an obvious consequence of some chaos
+properties.
+However, there is no direct reasoning that goes from chaotic functions to
+uniform distribution of the output.
+Moreover, it is not clear that embedding such kind of functions into a PRNG
+allows to get a chaotic output, which could be required for simulating
+some chaotic behaviors.
+
+In a previous work, some of the authors have proposed the idea of walking
+into a $\mathsf{N}$-cube where a balanced Hamiltonian cycle has been
+removed as the basis of a chaotic PRNG. In this article, all the difficult
+issues observed in the previous work have been tackled. The chaotic behavior
+of the whole PRNG is proven. The construction of the balanced Hamiltonian
+cycle is theoretically and practically solved. An upper bound of the
+expected length of the walk to obtain a uniform distribution is calculated.
+Finally practical experiments show that the generators successfully pass the
+classical statistical tests.
