Quicksort algorithm again revisited
We consider the standard Quicksort algorithm that sorts n distinct keys with all possible n! orderings of keys being equally likely. Equivalently, we analyze the total path length L(n) in a randomly built binary search tree. Obtaining the limiting distribution of L(n) is still an outstanding...
