Abstract On-linear multiple recursive congruential pseudo random number generator with prime modulus p is introduced. Let x, n≥0, be the sequence generated by a usual linear (r+1)-step recursive congruential generator with prime modulus p and denote by N(n), n≥0, the sequence of non-negative integers with xN(n)≢0 (mod p). The non-linear generator is defined by zn≡xN(n)+1·x N(n) −1 (mod p), n≥0, where x N(n) −1 denotes the inverse element of xN(n) in the Galois field GF(p). A condition is given which ensures that the generated sequence is purely periodic with period length pr and all (p−1)r r-tupels (y1,...,yr) with 1≤y1,...,yr≤p are generated once per period when r-tupels of consecutive numbers of the generated sequence are formed. For r=1 this generator coincides with the generator introduced by Eichenauer and Lehn [2].
