How to increase the size of the argument imax in randi function. I used the code e=randi(phi,1,1) but there comes an error saying value of phi has to be less than 2^52. What to do to increase this range?

The point is that once the eps of the max value is greater than 1, you cannot represent contiguous sets of integer values in double precision. E.g.,
>> eps(2^52)
ans =
1
>> eps(2^53)
ans =
2
So double precision could represent 2^52 + 1 exactly, but you see it will not be able to represent 2^53 + 1 exactly because eps(2^53) is greater than 1. So then the question becomes what makes sense for randi to produce as output when it can't represent all of the integers in the desired range? It doesn't make sense, hence the restriction.

Perhaps as follows,
num = uint64(randi(2^53-1,1))*2^8 +randi(2^8-1,1)

Using uint64 extends the allowed range beyond double, but of course it has a limit as well as you note. If you really need more range then use more than one variable for each value you need and extend Matt's approach.
