We present an average case analysis of a variant of dual-pivot quicksort. We show that the used algorithmic partitioning strategy is optimal, i.e., it minimizes the expected number of key comparisons. For the analysis, we calculate the…

We investigate dynamic algorithms for the interval scheduling problem. Our algorithm runs in amortised time $O(\log n)$ for query operation and $O(d\log^2 n)$ for insertion and removal operations, where $n$ and $d$ are the maximal numbers…
