We consider repeated games in which the player, instead of observing the action chosen by the opponent in each game round, receives a feedback generated by the combined choice of ...
We demonstrate an ⍀( pn1ϩ1/p) lower bound on the average-case running time (uniform distribution) of p-pass Shellsort. This is the first nontrivial general lower bound for avera...
