In this month’s column, we’ll explore the best lower bounds of algorithms to determine whether a given graph is connected or not. We will then discuss the problem of finding the minimum element in a circular sorted linked list, given an arbitrary pointer into the list.

This month's column focuses on computational complexity and the lower bounds for algorithms. In particular, we'll show that any algorithm to find the maximum in an array of N elements has a lower bound of O(N) by using an adversary argument.
