[comp.theory] Binary Merge Algorithm

sengupta@ENUXHA.EAS.ASU.EDU (Uttam Sengupta) (03/07/91)

Binary merging is a technique for merging two sorted sequences proposed by
F. K. Hwang and S. Lin [SIAM J. of Computing 1972 pp.31-39]. The Art of 
Computer Programming, Vol. 3 by D. E. Knuth (pp. 205-206) also discusses this
algorithm. 

Would anybody on the net be aware of references to an average case analysis of
the Binary merge? Any help/pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
