Dual pivot Quicksort
In this paper, we analyse the dual pivot Quicksort, a variant of the standard Quicksort algorithm, in which two pivots are used for the partitioning of the array. We are solving recurrences of the expected number of key comparisons and exchanges performed by the algorithm, obtaining the exact and asymptotic total average values contributing to its time complexity. Further, we compute the averag...
متن کاملPivot Sampling in Dual-Pivot Quicksort
The new dual-pivot Quicksort by Vladimir Yaroslavskiy — used in Oracle’s Java runtime library since version 7 — features intriguing asymmetries in its behavior. They were shown to cause a basic variant of this algorithm to use less comparisons than classic single-pivot Quicksort implementations. In this paper, we extend the analysis to the case where the two pivots are chosen as fixed order sta...
متن کاملProving JDK's Dual Pivot Quicksort Correct
Sorting is a fundamental functionality in libraries, for which efficiency is crucial. Correctness of the highly optimized implementations is often taken for granted. De Gouw et al. have shown that this certainty is deceptive by revealing a bug in the Java Development Kit (JDK) implementation of TimSort. We have formally analysed the other implementation of sorting in the JDK standard library: A...
متن کاملWhy Is Dual-Pivot Quicksort Fast?
I discuss the new dual-pivot Quicksort that is nowadays used to sort arrays of primitive types in Java. I sketch theoretical analyses of this algorithm that offer a possible, and in my opinion plausible, explanation why (a) dual-pivot Quicksort is faster than the previously used (classic) Quicksort and (b) why this improvement was not already found much earlier.
