Boltzmann Sampler

Numerical Algorithm

A Boltzmann sampler is an algorithm for the random sampling of combinatorial structures. Treating an object's size as its energy and the argument of its generating function as the temperature of a physical system, a Boltzmann sampler returns an object drawn from a classical Boltzmann distribution over that system.
