Average Case Analysis of QuickSort and Insertion Tree Height using Incompressibility
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the Kolmogorov Complexity of a Binary Insertion Tree. We obtain a simple incompressibility argument that yields an asymptotic analysis of average tree height. This argument further implies that the QuickSort algorithm sorts a permutation of n elements in Θ(n log n) comparisons on average.

Smoothed Analysis of Binary Search Trees and Quicksort under Additive Noise
Binary search trees are a fundamental data structure and their height plays a key role in the analysis of divide-and-conquer algorithms like quicksort. Their worst-case height is linear; their average height, whose exact value is one of the best-studied problems in average-case complexity, is logarithmic. We analyze their smoothed height under additive noise: An adversary chooses a sequence of ...
متن کاملRandom Trees, Heights, and Large Deviations
Random trees are of prime importance for studying the average case behavior of algorithms and data structures. The canonical examples are Hoare’s quicksort algorithm and the binary search tree. The most natural parameter to study is the average running time of the algorithm, and the average time for answering a query in a data structure. This does not provide sufficient information to properly ...
متن کاملVerified Analysis of Random Trees
This work is a case study of the formal verification and complexity analysis of some famous probabilistic algorithms and data structures in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL: the expected number of comparisons in randomised quicksort, the relationship between randomised quicksort and average-case deterministic quicksort, the expected shape of an unbalanced random Binary Search Tree, and the expe...
متن کاملBidirectional Conditional Insertion Sort algorithm; An efficient progress on the classical insertion sort
In this paper, we proposed a new efficient sorting algorithm based on insertion sort concept. The proposed algorithm called Bidirectional Conditional Insertion Sort (BCIS). It is in-place sorting algorithm and it has remarkably efficient average case time complexity when compared with classical insertion sort (IS). By comparing our new proposed algorithm with the Quicksort algorithm, BCIS indic...
متن کاملAverage Case and Distributional Analysis of Java 7's Dual Pivot Quicksort
In 2009, Oracle replaced the long-serving sorting algorithm in its Java 7 runtime library by a new dual pivot Quicksort variant due to Yaroslavskiy. The decision was based on the strikingly good performance of Yaroslavskiy’s implementation in running time experiments. At that time, no precise investigations of the algorithm were available to explain its superior performance — on the contrary: P...
