In my previous post, I looked at Bob Jenkins's JSF PRNG which has, at its heart, a random invertible mapping rather than a random (noninvertible) mapping. I discussed the theory of random (noninvertible) mappings in my post “Too Big To Fail”, which looked at the behavior generators based on this idea. Although random (noninvertible) mappings produce PRNGs that I consider needlessly flawed (for general-purpose use), their behavior is at least well characterized in the academic literature, ...
