38/**
39MixMaxEngine is a wrapper class for the MIXMAX Random number generator.
40MIXMAX is a matrix-recursive random number generator introduced by
41G. Savvidy.
42
43The real implementation of the generator, written in C, is in the mixmax.h and mixmax.cxx files.
44This generator code is available also at hepforge: http://mixmax.hepforge.org
45The MIXMAX code has been created and developed by Konstantin Savvidy and it is
46released under GNU Lesser General Public License v3.
47
48This wrapper class provides 3 different variants of MIXMAX according to the template para extra parameter N.
49The extra parameter, `SkipNumber`, is used to perform additional iterations of the generator before returning the random numbers.
50For example, when `SkipNumber = 2`, the generator will have two extra iterations that will be discarder.
51
52 - MIXMAX with N = 240. This is a new version of the generator (version 2.0beta) described in the
53 <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chaos.2016.05.003">2016 paper</a> (3rd reference), with
54 special number \f$s=487013230256099140\f$, \f$m=2^{51}+1\f$ and having a period of \f$10^{4389}\f$.
55
56 - MIXMAX with N = 17, from the 2.0 beta version with \f$s=0\f$ and \f$m=2^{36}+1\f$. The period of the
57 generator is \f$10^{294}\f$.
58
59 - MIXMAX with N = 256 from the 1.0 version. The period is (for `SkipNumber=0`) \f$10^{4682}\f$.
60 For this generator we recommend in ROOT using a default value of `SkipNumber=2, while for the
61 previous two generators skipping is not needed.
62
63This table describes the properties of the MIXMAX generators. MIXMAX is a genuine 61 bit
64generator on the Galois field GF[p], where \f$p=2^{61}-1\f$ is the Mersenne prime number.
65The MIXMAX generators with these parameters pass all of the BigCrush
66tests in the [TestU01 suite](http://simul.iro.umontreal.ca/testu01/tu01.html)

73| 256 | 194 | 0.000012 | 1 | 95.00 | 4682 (full period is not confirmed) |
74| 8 | 220 | 0.00028 | 1 | 1.54 | 129 |
75| 17 | 374 | 0.000079 | 1 | 1.92 | 294 |

79The entropy \f$h(T)\f$, decorrelation time \f$\tau_0\f$ decorrelation time, relaxation
80time \f$\tau\f$ and period of the MIXMAX generator, expressed in units of the iteration
81time \f$t\f$, which is normalised to 1. Clearly \f$\tau_0~ < t ~< \tau\f$.
