Perfect simulation from the Quicksort limit distribution
Luc Devroye, James Allen Fill, Ralph Neininger
Abstract
The weak limit of the normalized number of comparisons needed by the Quicksort algorithm to sort n randomly permuted items is known to be determined implicitly by a distributional fixed-point equation. We give an algorithm for perfect random variate generation from this distribution.
