We consider a multi-pivot QuickSort algorithm using $K\in\mathbb{N}$ pivot elements to partition a nonsorted list into $K+1$ sublists in order to proceed recursively on these sublists. For the partitioning stage, various strategies are in…

We propose a method of bi-coordinate variations for non-stationary and non-smooth optimization problems, which involve a single linear equality and box constraints. Here only approximation sequences are known instead of exact values of the…

Shellsort is a sorting method that is attractive due to its simplicity, yet it takes effort to analyze its efficiency. The heart of the algorithm is the gap sequence chosen a priori and used during sorting. The selection of this gap…
