Quicksort is the preferred in-place sorting algorithm in many contexts, since its average computing time on uniformly distributed inputs is Ξ(N log N), and it is in fact faster than most other sorting algorithms on most inputs. Its drawback is that its worst-case time bound is Ξ(N 2 . Previous attem

We describe two improvements to introspective sorting and selection algorithms: a simple rule for finegrained introspection that detects potential worst-case performance after only a small constant number of partitioning steps, and the use of remedial randomization as an intervention strategy in ord
We analyze di erent methods of sorting and selecting a set of objects by their intrinsic value, via pairwise comparisons whose outcome is uncertain. After discussing the limits of repeated Round Robins, two new methods are presented: The ran-ΓΏl requires no previous knowledge on the set under conside
We consider the problems of selection, routing, and sorting on an n-star graph (with n! nodes), an interconnection network which has been proven to possess many special properties. We identify a tree like subgraph (which we call a "(k, 1, k) chain network") of the star graph which enables us to desi
