This paper proposes two systematic ways to search for good MRGs, in terms of the lattice structure, in a partially exhaustive manner. One is a backward method and the other is a forward method. Several good MRGs of order 1, 2, and 3, with modulus 231–1, found from these two methods are presented. When computational efficiency is the major concern, another group of MRGs where the approximate factoring technique can be applied are generated. Roughly speaking, the execution time of the
