1867	 On the Expected Lengths of Sequences Generated in Sorting by Replacement Selecting	 In the replacement-selecting technique of sorting one is interested in the ratio L j of the expected length of the j-th sequence generated by the technique to the number of memory cells used. Using complex-variable theory it is shown that L j - and that asymptotically the average interval between sign changes of L j - is . . replacement selecting sorting sequence lengths asymptotic expected length recursion relation generating function meromorphic function
