abstract

We present random sampling procedures for Motzkin and Schr\"oder paths, following previous work on Dyck paths. Our algorithms follow the anticipated rejection method of the Florentine algorithms (Barcucci et al. 1994+), but introduce a recovery idea to greatly reduce the probability of rejection. They use an optimal amount of randomness and achieve a better time complexity than the Florentine algorithms.

Leap generators for composition schemes

math.CO · 2026-05-07 · conditional · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Leap generators for supercritical composition schemes C=A∘B sample exact-size structures in expected linear time, with total variation distance from uniform asymptotically |s−1|σ/√(2πμ)·n^{−1/2}, reducible to any n^{−(r+1)/2} rate by a rejection step.
