Abstract

We study a generalization of the classical median finding problem to batched query case: given an array of unsorted n items and k (not necessarily disjoint) intervals in the array, the goal is to determine the median in each of the intervals in the array. We give an algorithm that uses O(nlogk + klogk logn) comparisons and show a lower bound of Ω(nlogk) comparisons for this problem. This is optimal for k = O(n/logn). © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
