The '''additive congruential generator''' (ACORN) <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0021-9991(89)90221-0 R. S. Wikramaratna "ACORN—A new method for generating sequences of uniformly distributed Pseudo-random Numbers", Journal of Computational Physics '''83''' pp. 16-31 (1989)]</ref>.
 
The term ACG (Additive Congruential Generator) appears to have been used for a variant of the  LCG (Linear Congruential Generator described by Knuth TAOCP Volume 2, Algorithm M).
 
 
ACG is not to be confused with [[ACORN]] (the Additive Congruential Random Number Generator) which is an entirely different algorithm which has different performance, theoretical, and empirical properties.
