abstract: Given a set
S
with real-valued members, associated with each member one of two possible types; a multi-partitioning of
S
is a sequence of the members of
S
such that if
x,y ∈S
have different types and
x<y
,
x
precedes
y
in the multi-partitioning of
S
. We give two distribution-sensitive algorithms for the set multi-partitioning problem and a matching lower bound in the algebraic decision-tree model. One of the two algorithms can be made stable and can be implemented in place. We also give an output-sensitive algorithm for the problem.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.

Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
