Abstract: A new approach to Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation was recently proposed by Propp and Wilson. This approach, unlike traditional ones, yields samples which have exactly the desired distribution. The Propp–Wilson algorithm requires this distribution to have a certain structure called monotonicity. In this paper an idea of Kendall is applied to show how the algorithm can be extended to the case where monotonicity is replaced by anti‐monotonicity. As illustrating examples, simulations of the hard‐core model and the random‐cluster model are presented.
