Sorting is one of the fundamental problems in computer science. Playing a role in many processes, it has a lower complexity bound imposed by $\mathcal{O}(n\log{n})$ when executing on a sequential machine. This limit can be brought down to…

In this paper we study the problem of sorting under non-uniform comparison costs, where costs are either 1 or $\infty$. If comparing a pair has an associated cost of $\infty$ then we say that such a pair cannot be compared (forbidden…
