Multi-dimensional Boltzmann Sampling of context-free Languages

Résumé

This paper addresses the uniform random generation of words from a context-free language (over an alphabet of size $k$), while constraining every letter to a targeted frequency of occurrence. Our approach consists in an extended -- multidimensional -- version of the classic Boltzmann samplers~\cite{Duchon2004}. We show that, under mostly \emph{strong-connectivity} hypotheses, our samplers return a word of size in $[(1-\varepsilon)n, (1+\varepsilon)n]$ and exact frequency in $\mathcal{O}(n^{1+k/2})$ expected time. Moreover, if we accept a tolerance interval of length in $\Omega(\sqrt{n})$ for the number of occurrences of each letters, our samplers perform an approximate-size generation of words in expected $\mathcal{O}(n)$ time. We illustrate these techniques on the generation of Tetris tessellations with uniform statistics in the different types of tetraminoes.
