On the lattice test for inversive congruential pseudorandom numbers

TLDR
For a given prime modulus p, the optimal behavior of inversive congruential generators occurs when they pass the (p - 2)-dimensional lattice test as discussed by the authors, where p is a Mersenne prime.
Abstract
An important tool for the analysis of inversive congruential pseudorandom numbers is the lattice test. For a given prime modulus p, the optimal behavior of inversive congruential generators occurs when they pass the (p - 2)-dimensional lattice test. We use the connection with permutation polynomials to establish several criteria for passing the (p - 2)-dimensional lattice test. We also prove that if p is a Mersenne prime, then there exists an inversive congruential generator which has period length p and passes the (p - 2)-dimensional lattice test.
