Limit theorems for mergesort
نویسنده
چکیده
Central and local limit theorems (including large deviations) are established for the number of comparisons used by the standard top-down recursive mergesort under the uniform permutation model. The method of proof utilizes Dirichlet series, Mellin transforms and standard analytic methods in probability theory.

COUPLED FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR RATIONAL TYPE CONTRACTIONS VIA C-CLASS FUNCTIONS
In this paper, by using C-class functions, we will present a coupled xed problem in b-metric space for the single-valued operators satisfying a generalized contraction condition. First part of the paper is related to some xed point theorems, the second part presents the uniqueness and existence for the solution of the coupled xed point problem and in the third part we...

The main purpose of this paper is to establish different types of convergence theorems for fuzzy Henstock integrable functions, introduced by Wu and Gong cite{wu:hiff}. In fact, we have proved fuzzy uniform convergence theorem, convergence theorem for fuzzy uniform Henstock integrable functions and fuzzy monotone convergence theorem. Finally, a necessary and sufficient condition under which th...
متن کاملImproving Mergesort for Linked Lists
We present a highly tuned mergesort algorithm that improves the cost bounds when used to sort linked lists of elements. We provide empirical comparisons of our algorithm with other mergesort algorithms. The paper also illustrates the sort of techniques that allow to speed a divide-and-conquer algorithm.
متن کاملBranch Mispredictions Don't Affect Mergesort
In quicksort, due to branch mispredictions, a skewed pivotselection strategy can lead to a better performance than the exactmedian pivot-selection strategy, even if the exact median is given for free. In this paper we investigate the effect of branch mispredictions on the behaviour of mergesort. By decoupling element comparisons from branches, we can avoid most negative effects caused by branch...
متن کاملNew operators through measure of non-compactness
In this article, we use two concepts, measure of non-compactness and Meir-Keeler condensing operators. The measure of non-compactness has been applied for existence of solution nonlinear integral equations, ordinary differential equations and system of differential equations in the case of finite and infinite dimensions by some authors. Also Meir-Keeler condensing operators are shown in some pa...
