Abstract

In this paper we derive polynomial time algorithms that generate random kk-noncrossing matchings and kk-noncrossing RNA structures with uniform probability. Our approach employs the bijection between kk-noncrossing matchings and oscillating tableaux and the PP-recursiveness of the cardinalities of kk-noncrossing matchings. The main idea is to consider the tableaux sequences as paths of stochastic processes over shapes and to derive their transition probabilities.
