Pseudogener
Pseudogener is a term found in some mathematical and computational literature describing an entity that imitates a generator but is not the canonical or exact generator defined in theory. The term is not standardized and its meaning varies by source; readers should consult the specific definition used in a given work.
In probability theory and stochastic processes, a pseudogenerator may refer to a discretized or surrogate operator
In numerical analysis and scientific computing, a pseudogenerator can denote a finite-dimensional surrogate for a generator
It is important to distinguish the term from pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs), which refer to algorithms
Because of its ambiguous usage, when encountering pseudogener it is best to review the exact definition and
