The Worst Case Permutation for Median-of-Three Quicksort

H. Erkiö *

Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki, Tukholmankatu 2, Helsinki, Finland

An algorithm is given which forms the worst case permutation for one of the most efficient versions of quicksort (median-of-three quicksort). This makes the experimental evaluation of this important algorithm possible. The paper includes a simple experimental comparison of the median-of-three and original versions of quicksort.

Received February 1983.
