Simple Generators for List-Based Optimisers

A coded random number generator (RNG) is in fact a generator of a list of numbers (LNG), and any algorithm that uses such a list is deterministic. Herem, we present some experiments that support two claims when the algorithm is an optimiser: namely, a) there is no need of a complicated LNG, and b) the generated list can be very short, so that all possible di erent runs can be executed, and therefore there is no need of statistical analysis to evaluate and compare the results.
