AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper we present a method to generate independent samples for a
general random variable, either continuous or discrete. The algorithm is an extension
of the Acceptance-Rejection method, and it is particularly useful for kinetic simulation
in which the rates are fluctuating in time and have singular limits, as occurs for example
in simulation of recombination interactions in a plasma. Although it depends on
some additional requirements, the new method is easy to implement and rejects less
samples than the Acceptance-Rejection method.</p>
