Exact $L^2$-Distance from the Limit for QuickSort Key Comparisons (Extended Abstract)
Using a recursive approach, we obtain a simple exact expression for the $L^2$-distance from the limit in the classical limit theorem of Régnier (1989) for the number of key comparisons required by $\texttt{QuickSort}$. A previous study by Fill and Janson (2002) using a similar approach found that th...
