Although discovered some 30 years ago, the Heapsort algorithm is still not completely understood. Here we investigate the best case of Heapsort. Contrary to ลฝ . claims made by some authors that its time complexity is O n , i.e., linear in the ลฝ . number of items, we prove that it is actually O n log
## Abstract For any graph __G__, let __i__(__G__) and ฮผ;(__G__) denote the smallest number of vertices in a maximal independent set and maximal clique, respectively. For positive integers __m__ and __n__, the lower Ramsey number __s__(__m, n__) is the largest integer __p__ so that every graph of or
We show lower bounds on the worst-case complexity of Shellsort. In particular, ลฝ ลฝ 2 . ลฝ . 2 . we give a fairly simple proof of an โ n lg n r lg lg n lower bound for the size of Shellsort sorting networks for arbitrary increment sequences. We also show an identical lower bound for the running time o
