This time, we do a k way merge, as follows: we maintain a binary min-heap of size k, containing the smallest elements from each of the k input lists. Now, we proceed for kn iterations in each iteration, we extract the minimum element from the heap and add it to the output array. Then we delete the corresponding element from the input list where it came from, and insert the new smallest element from that list to the heap. What is the overall running time of this algorithm (in big-Theta notation k2n. 2 kn log (k) kn. k2n
