In 1965, Glimm [212] introduced the Random Choice Method (RCM) as part of a constructive proof of existence of solutions to a class of non–linear systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. In 1976, Chorin [110] successfully implemented a modified version of the method, as a computational technique, to solve the Euler equations of Gas Dynamics. In essence, to implement the RCM one requires (i) exact solutions of local Riemann problems and (ii) a random sampling procedure to pick up states to be assigned to the next time level.
