        The implementation relies on primitive polynomials modulo two
40
        from the book "Monte Carlo Methods in Finance" by Peter
41
        Jäckel.
42
43
        21 200 primitive polynomials modulo two are provided in QuantLib.
44
        Jäckel has calculated 8 129 334 polynomials: if you need that many
45
        dimensions you can replace the primitivepolynomials.cpp file included
46
        in QuantLib with the one provided in the CD of the "Monte Carlo
47
        Methods in Finance" book.

        The choice of initialization numbers (also know as free direction
50
        integers) is crucial for the homogeneity properties of the sequence.
51
        Sobol defines two homogeneity properties: Property A and Property A'.
52
53
        The unit initialization numbers suggested in "Numerical
54
        Recipes in C", 2nd edition, by Press, Teukolsky, Vetterling,
55
        and Flannery (section 7.7) fail the test for Property A even
56
        for low dimensions.
57
58
        Bratley and Fox published coefficients of the free direction
59
        integers up to dimension 40, crediting unpublished work of
60
        Sobol' and Levitan. See Bratley, P., Fox, B.L. (1988)
61
        "Algorithm 659: Implementing Sobol's quasirandom sequence
62
        generator," ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software
63
        14:88-100. These values satisfy Property A for d<=20 and d =
64
        23, 31, 33, 34, 37; Property A' holds for d<=6.
65
66
        Jäckel provides in his book (section 8.3) initialization
67
        numbers up to dimension 32. Coefficients for d<=8 are the same
68
        as in Bradley-Fox, so Property A' holds for d<=6 but Property
69
        A holds for d<=32.
70
71
        The implementation of Lemieux, Cieslak, and Luttmer includes
72
        coefficients of the free direction integers up to dimension
73
        360.  Coefficients for d<=40 are the same as in Bradley-Fox.
74
        For dimension 40<d<=360 the coefficients have
75
        been calculated as optimal values based on the "resolution"
76
        criterion. See "RandQMC user's guide - A package for
77
        randomized quasi-Monte Carlo methods in C," by C. Lemieux,
78
        M. Cieslak, and K. Luttmer, version January 13 2004, and
79
        references cited there
80
        (http://www.math.ucalgary.ca/~lemieux/randqmc.html).
81
        The values up to d<=360 has been provided to the QuantLib team by
82
        Christiane Lemieux, private communication, September 2004.

        Note that the Kuo numbers were generated to work with a
100
        different ordering of primitive polynomials for the first 40
101
        or so dimensions which is why we have the Alternative
102
        Primitive Polynomials.
