Selection sorts perform numerous comparisons, but fewer data movements than other methods. See sort algorithm. (2) A search for specific data starting at the beginning of a file or list.

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

However, complementarity came to be seen as a principle rather than a rule in an algorithm and its use was also advocated for the former reason. Optimal solutions could be produced by reformulating ...
