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.

  1. Leap generators for composition schemes

    math.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Leap generators for supercritical composition schemes C = A ∘ B yield linear-time exact-size samplers whose output distribution on size-n objects has total variation distance (c + o(1)) n^{-1/2} from uniform.

  2. Random Generation of $k$-coloured Motzkin Paths

    cs.DS 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The authors connect k-coloured Motzkin paths to odd-height prefixes and supply a linear-time random generation algorithm.
