AbstractWe prove a general lower bound on the average-case complexity of Shellsort: the average number of data-movements (and comparisons) made by a $p$-pass Shellsort for any incremental sequence is $Omega (pn^{1 + 1/p})$ for every $p$. The proof method is an incompressibility argument based on Kolmogorov complexity. Using similar techniques, the average-case complexity of several other sorting algorithms is analyzed.
