Consider a storage area where arriving items are stored temporarily in bounded capacity stacks until their departure. We look into the problem of deciding where to put an arriving item with the objective of minimizing the maximum number of…
We consider the classical problem of sorting an input array containing $n$ elements, where each element is described with a $k$-bit comparison-key and a $w$-bit payload. A long-standing open problem is whether there exist $(k + w) \cdot o(n…
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…
We consider the assortment optimization problem with disjoint-cardinality constraints under two-level nested logit model. To solve this problem, we first identify a candidate set with $O(mn^2)$ assortments and show that at least one optimal…
An archetypal problem discussed in computer science is the problem of searching for a given number in a given set of numbers. Other than sequential search, the classic solution is to sort the list of numbers and then apply binary search.…
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…
A novel integer value-sorting technique is proposed replacing bucket sort, distribution counting sort and address calculation sort family of algorithms. It requires only constant amount of additional memory. The technique is inspired from…
Sorting is a common and ubiquitous activity for computers. It is not surprising that there exist a plethora of sorting algorithms. For all the sorting algorithms, it is an accepted performance limit that sorting algorithms are linearithmic…
The \emph{generalized sorting problem} is a restricted version of standard comparison sorting where we wish to sort $n$ elements but only a subset of pairs are allowed to be compared. Formally, there is some known graph $G = (V, E)$ on the…
We give a more space-efficient implementation of adaptive mergesort: Virtual-Memory Powersort. Using internal buffering techniques, we significantly reduce the memory consumption of the algorithm; specifically, for sorting $n$ objects the…
In sorting situations where the final destination of each item is known, it is natural to repeatedly choose items and place them where they belong, allowing the intervening items to shift by one to make room. (In fact, a special case of…
There is a high demand of space-efficient algorithms in built-in or embedded softwares. In this paper, we consider the problem of designing space-efficient algorithms for computing the maximum area empty rectangle (MER) among a set of…
We continue the study of selection and sorting of $n$ numbers under the adversarial comparator model, where comparisons can be adversarially tampered with if the arguments are sufficiently close. We derive a randomized sorting algorithm…
We empirically study sorting in the evolving data model. In this model, a sorting algorithm maintains an approximation to the sorted order of a list of data items while simultaneously, with each comparison made by the algorithm, an…
Given a sequence of integers, we want to find a longest increasing subsequence of the sequence. It is known that this problem can be solved in $O(n \log n)$ time and space. Our goal in this paper is to reduce the space consumption while…
Although many authors have considered how many ternary comparisons it takes to sort a multiset $S$ of size $n$, the best known upper and lower bounds still differ by a term linear in $n$. In this paper we restrict our attention to online…
The suffix array is a fundamental data structure for many applications that involve string searching and data compression. Designing time/space-efficient suffix array construction algorithms has attracted significant attention and…
Many production-grade algorithms benefit from combining an asymptotically efficient algorithm for solving big problem instances, by splitting them into smaller ones, and an asymptotically inefficient algorithm with a very small…
We revisit the problem of permuting an array of length $n$ according to a given permutation in place, that is, using only a small number of bits of extra storage. Fich, Munro and Poblete [FOCS 1990, SICOMP 1995] obtained an elegant…
We present a sorting algorithm that works in-place, executes in parallel, is cache-efficient, avoids branch-mispredictions, and performs work O(n log n) for arbitrary inputs with high probability. The main algorithmic contributions are new…
