In this paper, we redesign and simplify an algorithm due to Remy et al. for the generation of rooted planar trees that satisfies a given partition of degrees. This new version is now optimal in terms of random bit complexity, up to a multiplicative constant. We then apply a natural process “simulate-guess-and-proof” to analyze the height of a random Motzkin in function of its frequency of unary nodes. When the number of unary nodes dominate, we prove some unconventional height phenomena (i.e. outside the universal Θ( √ n) behaviour.)
