Sort Algorithms 15-110 - Friday 2/28 Learning Objectives
Sort Algorithms 15-110 - Friday 2/28 Learning Objectives • Recognize how different sorting algorithms implement the same process with different algorithms • Recognize the general algorithm and trace code for three algorithms: selection sort, insertion sort, and merge sort • Compute the Big-O runtimes of selection sort, insertion sort, and merge sort 2 Search Algorithms Benefit from Sorting We use search algorithms a lot in computer science. Just think of how many times a day you use Google, or search for a file on your computer. We've determined that search algorithms work better when the items they search over are sorted. Can we write an algorithm to sort items efficiently? Note: Python already has built-in sorting functions (sorted(lst) is non-destructive, lst.sort() is destructive). This lecture is about a few different algorithmic approaches for sorting. 3 Many Ways of Sorting There are a ton of algorithms that we can use to sort a list. We'll use https://visualgo.net/bn/sorting to visualize some of these algorithms. Today, we'll specifically discuss three different sorting algorithms: selection sort, insertion sort, and merge sort. All three do the same action (sorting), but use different algorithms to accomplish it. 4 Selection Sort 5 Selection Sort Sorts From Smallest to Largest The core idea of selection sort is that you sort from smallest to largest. 1. Start with none of the list sorted 2. Repeat the following steps until the whole list is sorted: a) Search the unsorted part of the list to find the smallest element b) Swap the found element with the first unsorted element c) Increment the size of the 'sorted' part of the list by one Note: for selection sort, swapping the element currently in the front position with the smallest element is faster than sliding all of the numbers down in the list.

Secure Multi-Party Sorting and Applications
Secure Multi-Party Sorting and Applications Kristján Valur Jónsson1, Gunnar Kreitz2, and Misbah Uddin2 1 Reykjavik University 2 KTH—Royal Institute of Technology Abstract. Sorting is among the most fundamental and well-studied problems within computer science and a core step of many algorithms. In this article, we consider the problem of constructing a secure multi-party computing (MPC) protocol for sorting, building on previous results in the field of sorting networks. Apart from the immediate uses for sorting, our protocol can be used as a building-block in more complex algorithms. We present a weighted set intersection algorithm, where each party inputs a set of weighted ele- ments and the output consists of the input elements with their weights summed. As a practical example, we apply our protocols in a network security setting for aggregation of security incident reports from multi- ple reporters, specifically to detect stealthy port scans in a distributed but privacy preserving manner. Both sorting and weighted set inter- section use O`n log2 n´ comparisons in O`log2 n´ rounds with practical constants. Our protocols can be built upon any secret sharing scheme supporting multiplication and addition. We have implemented and evaluated the performance of sorting on the Sharemind secure multi-party computa- tion platform, demonstrating the real-world performance of our proposed protocols. Keywords. Secure multi-party computation; Sorting; Aggregation; Co- operative anomaly detection 1 Introduction Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) [16] are commonly used to detect anoma- lous and possibly malicious network traffic. Incidence reports and alerts from such systems are generally kept private, although much could be gained by co- operative sharing [30].

Improving the Performance of Bubble Sort Using a Modified Diminishing Increment Sorting

M. B. 1023, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. E- mail: [email protected] or [email protected]. Tel.: +234-8055344658. Accepted 17 February, 2009 Sorting involves rearranging information into either ascending or descending order. There are many sorting algorithms, among which is Bubble Sort. Bubble Sort is not known to be a very good sorting algorithm because it is beset with redundant comparisons. However, efforts have been made to improve the performance of the algorithm. With Bidirectional Bubble Sort, the average number of comparisons is slightly reduced and Batcher’s Sort similar to Shellsort also performs significantly better than Bidirectional Bubble Sort by carrying out comparisons in a novel way so that no propagation of exchanges is necessary. Bitonic Sort was also presented by Batcher and the strong point of this sorting procedure is that it is very suitable for a hard-wired implementation using a sorting network. This paper presents a meta algorithm called Oyelami’s Sort that combines the technique of Bidirectional Bubble Sort with a modified diminishing increment sorting. The results from the implementation of the algorithm compared with Batcher’s Odd-Even Sort and Batcher’s Bitonic Sort showed that the algorithm performed better than the two in the worst case scenario. The implication is that the algorithm is faster.

Consider the sequence of integers S = {5, 8, 2, 4, 3, 6, 1, 7} For each of the following sorting algorithms, indicate the sequence S after executing each step of the algorithm as it sorts this sequence: a. insertion sort b. selection sort c. heap sort d. bubble sort e. merge sort Question 4. Consider the sequence of integers 1 T = {1, 9, 2, 6, 4, 8, 0, 7} Indicate the sequence T after executing each step of the Cocktail sort algorithm (see Appendix) as it sorts this sequence. Advanced Questions Question 5. A variant of the bubble sorting algorithm is the so-called odd-even transposition sort . Like bubble sort, this algorithm a total of n-1 passes through the array. Each pass consists of two phases: The first phase compares array[i] with array[i+1] and swaps them if necessary for all the odd values of of i.

13 Basic Sorting Algorithms
Concise Notes on Data Structures and Algorithms Basic Sorting Algorithms 13 Basic Sorting Algorithms 13.1 Introduction Sorting is one of the most fundamental and important data processing tasks. Sorting algorithm: An algorithm that rearranges records in lists so that they follow some well-defined ordering relation on values of keys in each record. An internal sorting algorithm works on lists in main memory, while an external sorting algorithm works on lists stored in files. Some sorting algorithms work much better as internal sorts than external sorts, but some work well in both contexts. A sorting algorithm is stable if it preserves the original order of records with equal keys. Many sorting algorithms have been invented; in this chapter we will consider the simplest sorting algorithms. In our discussion in this chapter, all measures of input size are the length of the sorted lists (arrays in the sample code), and the basic operation counted is comparison of list elements (also called keys). 13.2 Bubble Sort One of the oldest sorting algorithms is bubble sort. The idea behind it is to make repeated passes through the list from beginning to end, comparing adjacent elements and swapping any that are out of order. After the first pass, the largest element will have been moved to the end of the list; after the second pass, the second largest will have been moved to the penultimate position; and so forth. The idea is that large values “bubble up” to the top of the list on each pass. A Ruby implementation of bubble sort appears in Figure 1.

Sorting Algorithm 1 Sorting Algorithm
Sorting algorithm 1 Sorting algorithm In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order. The most-used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order. Efficient sorting is important for optimizing the use of other algorithms (such as search and merge algorithms) that require sorted lists to work correctly; it is also often useful for canonicalizing data and for producing human-readable output. More formally, the output must satisfy two conditions: 1. The output is in nondecreasing order (each element is no smaller than the previous element according to the desired total order); 2. The output is a permutation, or reordering, of the input. Since the dawn of computing, the sorting problem has attracted a great deal of research, perhaps due to the complexity of solving it efficiently despite its simple, familiar statement. For example, bubble sort was analyzed as early as 1956.[1] Although many consider it a solved problem, useful new sorting algorithms are still being invented (for example, library sort was first published in 2004). Sorting algorithms are prevalent in introductory computer science classes, where the abundance of algorithms for the problem provides a gentle introduction to a variety of core algorithm concepts, such as big O notation, divide and conquer algorithms, data structures, randomized algorithms, best, worst and average case analysis, time-space tradeoffs, and lower bounds. Classification Sorting algorithms used in computer science are often classified by: • Computational complexity (worst, average and best behaviour) of element comparisons in terms of the size of the list . For typical sorting algorithms good behavior is and bad behavior is .
