Sorting algorithms are a common exercise for new programmers, and for good reason: they introduce many programming fundamentals at once, including loops and conditionals, arrays and lists, comparisons ...

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 ...

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 ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

Merge sort is entirely different than the sorting algorithms we’ve seen so far, and it represents an important class of algorithms—divide-and-conquer algorithms. Divide-and-conquer algorithms work by ...

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 ...

New X users with interests in topics such as crafts, sports and cooking are being blanketed with political content and fed a steady diet of posts that lean toward Donald Trump and that sow doubt about ...
