Cache-Oblivious Selection in Sorted X+Y Matrices
Published 6 Apr 2008 in cs.DS | (0804.0936v1)
Abstract: Let X[0..n-1] and Y[0..m-1] be two sorted arrays, and define the mxn matrix A by A[j][i]=X[i]+Y[j]. Frederickson and Johnson gave an efficient algorithm for selecting the k-th smallest element from A. We show how to make this algorithm IO-efficient. Our cache-oblivious algorithm performs O((m+n)/B) IOs, where B is the block size of memory transfers.
