Abstract:

Let $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper we provide a general theory to produce full orbit sequences in the affine $n$-dimensional space over a finite field. For $n=1$ our construction covers the case of the Inversive Congruential Generators (ICG). In addition, for $n>1$ we show that the sequences produced using our construction are easier to compute than ICG sequences. Furthermore, we prove that they have the same discrepancy bounds as the ones constructed using the ICG.
