Abstract

The (m,n) selection problem is defined as the selection of the m smallest numbers in any order from a set of n numbers (m =n). In this paper, we have proposed a class of design procedures for selection networks based on partitioning. Conditions are defined so that the optimal design can be found in polynomial time. The resulting selection network has O([log2n] · [log2m]) time
