Abstract

Assume that m,sNm,s\in\mathbb N, m>1m>1, while ff is a polynomial with integer coefficients, deg f>1\text{deg}~f>1, f(i)f^{(i)} is the iith iteration of the polynomial ff, κn\kappa_n has a discrete uniform distribution on the set {0,1,,mn1}\{0,1,\ldots,m^n - 1\}. We are going to prove that with nn tending to infinity random vectors (κnmn,f(κn)modmnmn,,f(s1)(κn)modmnmn)\left(\frac{\kappa_n}{m^n},\frac{f(\kappa_n) \bmod m^n}{m^n},\ldots,\frac{f^{(s - 1)}(\kappa_n) \bmod m^n}{m^n}\right) weakly converge to a vector having a continuous uniform distribution in the ss-dimensional unit cube. Analogous results were obtained earlier only for some classes of polynomials with s3,deg f=2s\leqslant 3, \text{deg}~f = 2. The mentioned vectors represent sequential pseudorandom numbers produced by a polynomial congruential generator modulo mnm^n.
