In this paper, we propose a useful replacement for quicksort-style utility functions. The replacement is called Symmetry Partition Sort, which has essentially the same principle as Proportion Extend Sort. The maximal difference between them…

We give optimal sorting algorithms in the evolving data framework, where an algorithm's input data is changing while the algorithm is executing. In this framework, instead of producing a final output, an algorithm attempts to maintain an…

This paper introduces a novel and efficient partitioning technique for quicksort, specifically designed for real-world data with duplicate elements (50-year-old problem). The method is referred to as "equal quicksort" or "eqsort". Based on…

Classical problems of sorting and searching assume an underlying linear ordering of the objects being compared. In this paper, we study a more general setting, in which some pairs of objects are incomparable. This generalization is relevant…

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…

Many previous works in spike sorting study spike classification and compression independently. In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed called MetaSort to address these two problems. To deal with compression, a novel adaptive level…

We consider the problem of sorting $n$ elements in the case of \emph{persistent} comparison errors. In this model (Braverman and Mossel, SODA'08), each comparison between two elements can be wrong with some fixed (small) probability $p$,…

The original Leapfrogging Samplesort operates on a sorted sample of size $s$ and an unsorted part of size $s+1$. We generalize this to a sorted sample of size $s$ and an unsorted part of size $(2^k-1)(s+1)$, where $k = O(1)$. We present a…

Sorting is the task of ordering $n$ elements using pairwise comparisons. It is well known that $m=\Theta(n\log n)$ comparisons are both necessary and sufficient when the outcomes of the comparisons are observed with no noise. In this paper,…
