Abstract

The problem of selecting thekth largest or smallest element of \x i +y j |x i $\epsilon$X andy j $\epsilon$Y ∀i,j\ whereX=(x1,x2, ..,x n ) andY=(y1,y2, ...,y n ) are two arrays ofn elements each, is considered. Certain improvements to an existing algorithm are proposed. An algorithm requiringO(logk·logn) units of time on a Shared Memory Model of a parallel computer havingO(n1+1/$\beta$) processors is presented where $\beta$ is a pre-assigned constant lying between 1 and 2.
