Sorting Algorithm Complexity Lower Bound: The known lower bound for comparison-based sorting algorithms is
𝑂(𝑛log𝑛)
O(n log n). Achieving
𝑂(1)
O(1) time complexity universally is mathematically impossible unless
𝑃=𝑁𝑃
P=NP, which is one of the biggest open problems in computer science.
Space Complexity Constraint: Maintaining
𝑂(1)
O(1) space implies that the algorithm cannot use additional memory beyond a constant amount, making tasks like swapping elements impossible for inputs larger than a fixed size without breaking the space constraint.
Deterministic Behavior: Randomized algorithms like QuickSort (with random pivots) can achieve faster performance on average, but these violate the det…
