Abstract

This paper constructs a probabilistic selection network with size 0.5n log n+O(n 0.822 log n) and depth 5.62 log n + O(log log n). This paper further researches the practical aspects of a butterfly network and shows some useful properties of a butterfly network, which improves in the size and the depth of the selection network.
