 +====== The idea ======
  
-If $ (X,Y) \sim \unif\set{(x,​y)}{0\leq x\leq M f(y)}$, then $Y \sim f$. The idea of ratio of uniform method is based on the following property: if $ (U,V) \sim \unif\set{(u,​v)}{0\leq u\leq  \sqrt{M f(v/u)}}$, then $V/U \sim f$. This can be shown from the change of variable $x=u$, $y=v/u$, i.e. $u=x$, $v=xy$. ​+The rejection algorithm is based on the following property:  
 +  * $ (X,Y) \sim \unif\set{(x,​y)}{0\leq x\leq M f(y)}$ ​if and only if $Y \sim f$ and $X|_{Y=y} \sim \unif[0,​Mf(y)]$.

 +The idea of the ratio-of-uniform method is based on the following property: if $ (U,V) \sim \unif\set{(u,​v)}{0\leq u\leq  \sqrt{M f(v/u)}}$, then $V/U \sim f$. This can be shown from the change of variable $x=u$, $y=v/u$, i.e. $u=x$, $v=xy$. ​
  
 A simple generalisation of this result is: if $ (U,V) \sim \unif\set{(u,​v)}{0\leq u\leq  G^{-1}\lr{M f\lr{\frac { v} {g(u)}}}}$, then $V/g(U) \sim f$ where $g: \rset^+ \to \rset^+_*$ and $G(x)=\int_0^x g(u) \rmd u$.  A simple generalisation of this result is: if $ (U,V) \sim \unif\set{(u,​v)}{0\leq u\leq  G^{-1}\lr{M f\lr{\frac { v} {g(u)}}}}$, then $V/g(U) \sim f$ where $g: \rset^+ \to \rset^+_*$ and $G(x)=\int_0^x g(u) \rmd u$.

 As far as I can see, these methods can only be interesting if $V=Y g(X)$ or $U=X$ are easy to simulate when $Y \sim f$ and $X|_Y \sim \unif\lrcb{[0,​f(Y)]}$ As far as I can see, these methods can only be interesting if $V=Y g(X)$ or $U=X$ are easy to simulate when $Y \sim f$ and $X|_Y \sim \unif\lrcb{[0,​f(Y)]}$
