مستخلص: A new selection algorithm is presented which is shown to be very efficient on the average, both theoretically and practically. The number of comparisons used to select the ith smallest of n numbers is n + min (i,n- i) + o (n). A lower bound within 9 percent of the above formula is also derived. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
