Towards a Realistic Analysis of the QuickSelect Algorithm

We revisit the analysis of the classical QuickSelect algorithm. Usually, the analysis deals with the mean number of key comparisons, but here we view keys as words produced by a source, and words are compared via their symbols in lexicographic order. Our probabilistic models belong to a broad catego...
