Abstract

We derive the upper bounds on the complexity of the counting sort algorithm applied to reals. We show that the algorithm has a time complexity O(n) for n data items distributed uniformly or exponentially. The proof is based on the fact that the use of comparison-type sorting for small portion of a given data set is bounded by a linear function of n. Some numerical demonstrations are discussed.
