The Ford-Johnson algorithm, discovered by Lester R. Ford Jr. and Selmer M. Johnson in 1959, is historically significant as it was the first algorithm to sort n elements with fewer than the information ...

I would like to contribute an implementation of the IntroSort (Introspective Sort) algorithm in C. IntroSort is a hybrid sorting algorithm that begins with QuickSort, switches to HeapSort when ...

Abstract: In this paper, a low-cost pipelined architecture based on a hybrid sorting algorithm is proposed. The proposed architecture is constructed with a bitonic sorter and several cascaded ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

Abstract: We present the formalization and the automated verification of the list sorting algorithms Insert-Sort and Merge-Sort in the Coq system and we compare it with the formalization and ...

ABSTRACT: Taking into account the fact that the computer systems, as the implementations of Turing machine, are physical devices, the paper shows considerations in which hard drive behavior will be ...
