-\section{Statistical Improvements Using Chaotic Iterations}
-
-\label{The generation of pseudorandom sequence}
-
-
-Let us now explain why we have reasonable ground to believe that chaos 
-can improve statistical properties.
-We will show in this section that chaotic properties as defined in the
-mathematical theory of chaos are related to some statistical tests that can be found
-in the NIST battery. Furthermore, we will check that, when mixing defective PRNGs with
-chaotic iterations, the new generator presents better statistical properties
-(this section summarizes and extends the work of~\cite{bfg12a:ip}).
-
-
-
-\subsection{Qualitative relations between topological properties and statistical tests}
-
-
-There are various relations between topological properties that describe an unpredictable behavior for a discrete 
-dynamical system on the one
-hand, and statistical tests to check the randomness of a numerical sequence
-on the other hand. These two mathematical disciplines follow a similar 
-objective in case of a recurrent sequence (to characterize an intrinsically complicated behavior for a
-recurrent sequence), with two different but complementary approaches.
-It is true that the following illustrative links give only qualitative arguments, 
-and proofs should be provided later to make such arguments irrefutable. However 
-they give a first understanding of the reason why we think that chaotic properties should tend
-to improve the statistical quality of PRNGs.
-%
-Let us now list some of these relations between topological properties defined in the mathematical
-theory of chaos and tests embedded into the NIST battery. %Such relations need to be further 
-%investigated, but they presently give a first illustration of a trend to search similar properties in the 
-%two following fields: mathematical chaos and statistics.
-
-
-\begin{itemize}
-    \item \textbf{Regularity}. As stated in Section~\ref{subsec:Devaney}, a chaotic dynamical system must 
-have an element of regularity. Depending on the chosen definition of chaos, this element can be the existence of
-a dense orbit, the density of periodic points, etc. The key idea is that a dynamical system with no periodicity
-is not as chaotic as a system having periodic orbits: in the first situation, we can predict something and gain a
-knowledge about the behavior of the system, that is, it never enters into a loop. A similar importance for periodicity is emphasized in
-the two following NIST tests~\cite{Nist10}:
-    \begin{itemize}
-        \item \textbf{Non-overlapping Template Matching Test}. Detect generators that produce too many occurrences of a given non-periodic (aperiodic) pattern.
-        \item \textbf{Discrete Fourier Transform (Spectral) Test}. Detect periodic features (i.e., repetitive patterns that are close one to another) in the tested sequence that would indicate a deviation from the assumption of randomness.
-    \end{itemize}
-
-\item \textbf{Transitivity}. This topological property previously introduced  states that the dynamical system is intrinsically complicated: it cannot be simplified into 
-two subsystems that do not interact, as we can find in any neighborhood of any point another point whose orbit visits the whole phase space. 
-This focus on the places visited by the orbits of the dynamical system takes various nonequivalent formulations in the mathematical theory
-of chaos, namely: transitivity, strong transitivity, total transitivity, topological mixing, and so on~\cite{bg10:ij}. A similar attention 
-is brought on the states visited during a random walk in the two tests below~\cite{Nist10}:
-    \begin{itemize}
-        \item \textbf{Random Excursions Variant Test}. Detect deviations from the expected number of visits to various states in the random walk.
-        \item \textbf{Random Excursions Test}. Determine if the number of visits to a particular state within a cycle deviates from what one would expect for a random sequence.
-    \end{itemize}
-
-\item \textbf{Chaos according to Li and Yorke}. Two points of the phase space $(x,y)$ define a couple of Li-Yorke when $\limsup_{n \rightarrow +\infty} d(f^{(n)}(x), f^{(n)}(y))>0$ et $\liminf_{n \rightarrow +\infty} d(f^{(n)}(x), f^{(n)}(y))=0$, meaning that their orbits always oscillate as the iterations pass. When a system is compact and contains an uncountable set of such points, it is claimed as chaotic according
-to Li-Yorke~\cite{Li75,Ruette2001}. A similar property is regarded in the following NIST test~\cite{Nist10}.
-    \begin{itemize}
-        \item \textbf{Runs Test}. To determine whether the number of runs of ones and zeros of various lengths is as expected for a random sequence. In particular, this test determines whether the oscillation between such zeros and ones is too fast or too slow.
-    \end{itemize}
-    \item \textbf{Topological entropy}. The desire to formulate an equivalency of the thermodynamics entropy
-has emerged both in the topological and statistical fields. Once again, a similar objective has led to two different
-rewritting of an entropy based disorder: the famous Shannon definition of entropy is approximated in the statistical approach, 
-whereas topological entropy is defined as follows:
-$x,y \in \mathcal{X}$ are $\varepsilon-$\emph{separated in time $n$} if there exists $k \leqslant n$ such that $d\left(f^{(k)}(x),f^{(k)}(y)\right)>\varepsilon$. Then $(n,\varepsilon)-$separated sets are sets of points that are all $\varepsilon-$separated in time $n$, which
-leads to the definition of $s_n(\varepsilon,Y)$, being the maximal cardinality of all $(n,\varepsilon)-$separated sets. Using these notations, 
-the topological entropy is defined as follows: $$h_{top}(\mathcal{X},f)  = \displaystyle{\lim_{\varepsilon \rightarrow 0} \Big[ \limsup_{n \rightarrow +\infty} \dfrac{1}{n} \log s_n(\varepsilon,\mathcal{X})\Big]}.$$
-This value measures the average exponential growth of the number of distinguishable orbit segments. 
-In this sense, it measures the complexity of the topological dynamical system, whereas 
-the Shannon approach comes to mind when defining the following test~\cite{Nist10}:
-    \begin{itemize}
-\item \textbf{Approximate Entropy Test}. Compare the frequency of the overlapping blocks of two consecutive/adjacent lengths ($m$ and $m+1$) against the expected result for a random sequence.
-    \end{itemize}
-
-    \item \textbf{Non-linearity, complexity}. Finally, let us remark that non-linearity and complexity are 
-not only sought in general to obtain chaos, but they are also required for randomness, as illustrated by the two tests below~\cite{Nist10}.
-    \begin{itemize}
-\item \textbf{Binary Matrix Rank Test}. Check for linear dependence among fixed length substrings of the original sequence.
-\item \textbf{Linear Complexity Test}. Determine whether or not the sequence is complex enough to be considered random.
-      \end{itemize}
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-We have proven in our previous works~\cite{guyeux12:bc} that chaotic iterations satisfying Theorem~\ref{Th:Caractérisation   des   IC   chaotiques} are, among other
-things, strongly transitive, topologically mixing, chaotic as defined by Li and Yorke,
-and that they have a topological entropy and an exponent of Lyapunov both equal to $ln(\mathsf{N})$,
-where $\mathsf{N}$ is the size of the iterated vector.
-These topological properties make that we are ground to believe that a generator based on chaotic
-iterations will probably be able to pass all the existing statistical batteries for pseudorandomness like
-the NIST one. The following subsections, in which we prove that defective generators have their
-statistical properties improved by chaotic iterations, show that such an assumption is true.

-They are defined by the following recurrence:
-\begin{equation}
-x^n = (ax^{n-1} + c)~mod~m,

-where $a$, $c$, and $x^0$ must be, among other things, non-negative and inferior to

-We have then investigated in~\cite{bfg12a:ip} if it were possible to improve

-$\oplus$ operation. Results are summarized in Table~\ref{threshold}, illustrating
-the progressive increasing effects of chaotic iterations, when giving time to chaos to get settled in.

-using chaotic iterations on defective generators.

-Finally, the TestU01 battery has been launched on three well-known generators 
-(a logistic map, a simple XORshift, and the cryptographically secure ISAAC, 
-see Table~\ref{TestU011}). These results can be compared with 
-Table~\ref{TestU01 for Old CI}, which gives the scores obtained by the
-Old CI PRNG that has received these generators.
-The obvious improvement speaks for itself, and together with the other
-results recalled in this section, it reinforces the opinion that a strong
-correlation between topological properties and statistical behavior exists.

+%We have then investigated in~\cite{bfg12a:ip} if it were possible to improve
+%the statistical behavior of the Xor CI version by combining more than one 
+%$\oplus$ operation. Results are summarized in Table~\ref{threshold}, illustrating
+%the progressive increasing effects of chaotic iterations, when giving time to chaos to get settled in.
+%Thus rapid and perfect PRNGs, regarding the NIST and DieHARD batteries, can be obtained 
+%using chaotic iterations on defective generators.

+%Finally, the TestU01 battery has been launched on three well-known generators 
+%(a logistic map, a simple XORshift, and the cryptographically secure ISAAC, 
+%see Table~\ref{TestU011}). These results can be compared with 
+%Table~\ref{TestU01 for Old CI}, which gives the scores obtained by the
+%Old CI PRNG that has received these generators.
+%The obvious improvement speaks for itself, and together with the other
+%results recalled in this section, it reinforces the opinion that a strong
+%correlation between topological properties and statistical behavior exists.

+%The next subsection will now give a concrete original implementation of the Xor CI PRNG, the
+%fastest generator in the chaotic iteration based family. In the remainder,
+%this generator will be simply referred to as CIPRNG, or ``the proposed PRNG'', if this statement does not
+%raise ambiguity.
