We have achieved a strict lower time bound of n -1 for distributed sorting on a line network, where n is the number of processes. The lower time bound has traditionally been considered to be n because it is proved based on the number of disjoint comparison-exchange operations in parallel sorting on

This paper gives an upper bound for the average running time of Batcher's oddαeven merge sort when implemented on a collection of processors. We consider the case where n, the size of the input, is an arbitrary multiple of the number Ε½ p of processors used. We show that Batcher's oddαeven merge for
The computational time complexity is an important topic in the theory of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). This paper reports some new results on the average time complexity of EAs. Based on drift analysis, some useful drift conditions for deriving the time complexity of EAs are studied, including cond
