In our previous work there was some indication that Partition Sort could be having a more robust average case O(nlogn) complexity than the popular Quick Sort. In our first study in this paper, we reconfirm this through computer experiments…
Sundararajan and Chakraborty (2007) introduced a new version of Quick sort removing the interchanges. Khreisat (2007) found this algorithm to be competing well with some other versions of Quick sort. However, it uses an auxiliary array…
Various decision support systems are available that implement Data Mining and Data Warehousing techniques for diving into the sea of data for getting useful patterns of knowledge (pearls). Classification, regression, clustering, and many…
This paper addresses the anytime sorting problem, aiming to develop algorithms providing tentative estimates of the sorted list at each execution step. Comparisons are treated as steps, and the Spearman's footrule metric evaluates…
Smoothed analysis is a framework for analyzing the complexity of an algorithm, acting as a bridge between average and worst-case behaviour. For example, Quicksort and the Simplex algorithm are widely used in practical applications, despite…
We introduce and analyse a new, extremely simple, randomised sorting algorithm: - choose a pair of indices $\{i, j\}$ according to some distribution $q$; - sort the elements in positions $i$ and $j$ of the array in ascending order. Choosing…
Randomized rounding is a standard method, based on the probabilistic method, for designing combinatorial approximation algorithms. In Raghavan's seminal paper introducing the method (1988), he writes: "The time taken to solve the linear…
Smart Sort algorithm is a "smart" fusion of heap construction procedures (of Heap sort algorithm) into the conventional "Partition" function (of Quick sort algorithm) resulting in a robust version of Quick sort algorithm. We have also…
In this paper we present a random shuffling scheme to apply with adaptive sorting algorithms. Adaptive sorting algorithms utilize the presortedness present in a given sequence. We have probabilistically increased the amount of presortedness…
Sorting and hashing are two completely different concepts in computer science, and appear mutually exclusive to one another. Hashing is a search method using the data as a key to map to the location within memory, and is used for rapid…
Recently, a new Quicksort variant due to Yaroslavskiy was chosen as standard sorting method for Oracle's Java 7 runtime library. The decision for the change was based on empirical studies showing that on average, the new algorithm is faster…
In this paper, we study randomized methods for feedback design of uncertain systems. The first contribution is to derive the sample complexity of various constrained control problems. In particular, we show the key role played by the…
In 2009, Oracle replaced the long-serving sorting algorithm in its Java 7 runtime library by a new dual-pivot Quicksort variant due to Vladimir Yaroslavskiy. The decision was based on the strikingly good performance of Yaroslavskiy's…
We explore the fundamental problem of sorting through the lens of learning-augmented algorithms, where algorithms can leverage possibly erroneous predictions to improve their efficiency. We consider two different settings: In the first…
Sorting is one of the most used and well investigated algorithmic problem [1]. Traditional postulation supposes the sorting data archived, and the elementary operation as comparisons of two numbers. In a view of appearance of new processors…
Generalized sorting problem, also known as sorting with forbidden comparisons, was first introduced by Huang et al. together with a randomized algorithm which requires $\tilde O(n^{3/2})$ probes. We study this problem with additional…
We want to select the best systems out of a given set of systems (or rank them) with respect to their expected performance. The systems allow random observations only and we assume that the joint observation of the systems has a…
This paper studies the average complexity on the number of comparisons for sorting algorithms. Its information-theoretic lower bound is $n \lg n - 1.4427n + O(\log n)$. For many efficient algorithms, the first $n\lg n$ term is easy to…
Parametric search has been widely used in geometric algorithms. Cole's improvement provides a way of saving a logarithmic factor in the running time over what is achievable using the standard method. Unfortunately, this improvement comes at…
