Random Generation Using Binomial ApproximationsArticle

Authors: Dominique Gouyou-Beauchamps 1; Cyril Nicaud ORCID2

Generalizing an idea used by Alonso to generate uniformly at random Motzkin words, we outline an approach to build efficient random generators using binomial distributions and rejection algorithms. As an application of this method, we present random generators, both efficient and easy to implement, for partial injections and colored unary-binary trees.
