Abstract
One of essential problems in generating pseudo-random numbers is the problem of periodicity of the resulting numbers. Some generators output periodic sequences. To avoid it several ways are used.
Here we present the following approach: supposed we have some order in the considered set. Let's invent some algorithm which produces disorder in the set. E.g. if we have a periodic sequence of integers, let's construct an irrational number implying the given set. Then the figures of the resulting number form a non-periodic sequence.
Here we can use continued fractions and Lagrange's theorem asserts that the resulting number is irrational.
Another approach is to use series of the form \(\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{a_n}{n!}\) with a periodic sequence of integers \(\{a_n\}, a_{n+T}=a_n\) which is irrational.
Here we consider polyadic series \(\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n n!\) with a periodic sequence of positive integers \(\{a_n\},a_{n+T} = a_n\) and describe some of their properties.
