# RandomSeed -- seed for the random number generators.

## Description

To avoid singularities during complex path following, the homotopy methods use a random constant. The flags generated in LRtriple also depend on the values generated by the random number generator. Fixing the value of RandomSeed leads to reproducible runs.

## Functions with optional argument named RandomSeed:

- LRtriple(...,RandomSeed=>...) -- option to set the seed of the random number generators.

## For the programmer

The object RandomSeed is a symbol.
