Abstract

The performance of individual pseudo-random sequence, generated by some mechanism, is often not ideal. The asymptotic performance of the addition (in the sense (mod ρ)) of a large number of such individual sequences is studied and the necessary and sufficient condition under which the resulting sequence may converge to genuine randomness is obtained.
