Abstract

A perturbation technique can be used to simplify and sharpen A. C. Yao's theorems about the behavior of shellsort with increments (h, g, 1). In particular, when $h = \Theta(n^7/15)$ and g =θ (h1/5), the average running time is O(n23/15). The proof involves interesting properties of the inversions in random permutations that have been h-sorted and g-sorted.
