  2. Strand sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strand_sort

    Strand sort is a recursive sorting algorithm that sorts items of a list into increasing order. It has O(n 2) worst-case time complexity, which occurs when the input list is reverse sorted. [1] It has a best-case time complexity of O(n), which occurs when the input is already sorted. [citation needed]

  3. Analysis of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_algorithms

    Usually, this involves determining a function that relates the size of an algorithm's input to the number of steps it takes (its time complexity) or the number of storage locations it uses (its space complexity). An algorithm is said to be efficient when this function's values are small, or grow slowly compared to a growth in the size of the input.

  4. Skip list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_list

    MemSQL uses lock-free skip lists as its prime indexing structure for its database technology. MuQSS, for the Linux kernel, is a cpu scheduler built on skip lists. [10] [11] Cyrus IMAP server offers a "skiplist" backend DB implementation [12] Lucene uses skip lists to search delta-encoded posting lists in logarithmic time. [citation needed]

  5. Odd–even sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd–even_sort

    It functions by comparing all odd/even indexed pairs of adjacent elements in the list and, if a pair is in the wrong order (the first is larger than the second) the elements are switched. The next step repeats this for even/odd indexed pairs (of adjacent elements). Then it alternates between odd/even and even/odd steps until the list is sorted.

  6. Bogosort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogosort

    A sorting algorithm introduced in the 2011 Google Code Jam. [6] As long as the list is not in order, a subset of all elements is randomly permuted. If this subset is optimally chosen each time this is performed, the expected value of the total number of times this operation needs to be done is equal to the number of misplaced elements.

  7. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    Timsort is a hybrid, stable sorting algorithm, derived from merge sort and insertion sort, designed to perform well on many kinds of real-world data.It was implemented by Tim Peters in 2002 for use in the Python programming language.

  8. Cocktail shaker sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_shaker_sort

    The simplest form goes through the whole list each time: procedure cocktailShakerSort(A : list of sortable items) is do swapped := false for each i in 0 to length(A) − 1 do: if A[i] > A[i + 1] then // test whether the two elements are in the wrong order swap(A[i], A[i + 1]) // let the two elements change places swapped := true end if end for if not swapped then // we can exit the outer loop ...

  9. Element distinctness problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_distinctness_problem

    In computational complexity theory, the element distinctness problem or element uniqueness problem is the problem of determining whether all the elements of a list are distinct. It is a well studied problem in many different models of computation.
