Title
Presorting algorithms: an average-case point of view
Abstract
We introduce the concept of presorting algorithms, quantifying and evaluating the performance of such algorithms with the average reduction in number of inversions. Stages of well-known algorithms such as Shellsort and quicksort are evaluated in such a framework and shown to cause a meaning drop in the inversion statistic. The expected value, variance and generating function for the decrease in number of inversions are computed. The possibility of “presorting” a sorting algorithm is also investigated under a similar framework.
