  2. Insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort

    Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array (or list) ... in the previous step is marked with an asterisk.

  3. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that is relatively efficient for small lists and mostly sorted lists, and is often used as part of more sophisticated algorithms. It works by taking elements from the list one by one and inserting them in their correct position into a new sorted list similar to how one puts money in their wallet. [ 22 ]

  4. Library sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_sort

    Like the insertion sort it is based on, library sort is a comparison sort; however, it was shown to have a high probability of running in O(n log n) time (comparable to quicksort), rather than an insertion sort's O(n 2). There is no full implementation given in the paper, nor the exact algorithms of important parts, such as insertion and ...

  5. Flashsort - Wikipedia

    If the number m of buckets is linear in the input size n, each bucket has a constant size, so sorting a single bucket with an O(n 2) algorithm like insertion sort has complexity O(1 2) = O(1). The running time of the final insertion sorts is therefore m ⋅ O(1) = O(m) = O(n).

  6. Block sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Sort

    Block sort, or block merge sort, is a sorting algorithm combining at least two merge operations with an insertion sort to arrive at O(n log n) (see Big O notation) in-place stable sorting time. It gets its name from the observation that merging two sorted lists, A and B , is equivalent to breaking A into evenly sized blocks , inserting each A ...

  7. Merge-insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge-insertion_sort

    In this sense, it is a hybrid algorithm that combines both merge sort and insertion sort. [9] For small inputs (up to =) its numbers of comparisons equal the lower bound on comparison sorting of ⌈ ⁡! ⌉ ⁡. However, for larger inputs the number of comparisons made by the merge-insertion algorithm is bigger than this lower bound.

  8. Bucket sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_sort

    Each bucket is then sorted individually, either using a different sorting algorithm, or by recursively applying the bucket sorting algorithm. It is a distribution sort , a generalization of pigeonhole sort that allows multiple keys per bucket, and is a cousin of radix sort in the most-to-least significant digit flavor.

  9. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    Timsort: adaptative algorithm derived from merge sort and insertion sort. Used in Python 2.3 and up, and Java SE 7. Insertion sorts Insertion sort: determine where the current item belongs in the list of sorted ones, and insert it there; Library sort; Patience sorting; Shell sort: an attempt to improve insertion sort
