1 Lower Bound on Runtime of Comparison Sorts
CS 161 Lecture 7 { Sorting in Linear Time Jessica Su (some parts copied from CLRS) 1 Lower bound on runtime of comparison sorts So far we've looked at several sorting algorithms { insertion sort, merge sort, heapsort, and quicksort. Merge sort and heapsort run in worst-case O(n log n) time, and quicksort runs in expected O(n log n) time. One wonders if there's something special about O(n log n) that causes no sorting algorithm to surpass it. As a matter of fact, there is! We can prove that any comparison-based sorting algorithm must run in at least Ω(n log n) time. By comparison-based, I mean that the algorithm makes all its decisions based on how the elements of the input array compare to each other, and not on their actual values. One example of a comparison-based sorting algorithm is insertion sort. Recall that insertion sort builds a sorted array by looking at the next element and comparing it with each of the elements in the sorted array in order to determine its proper position. Another example is merge sort. When we merge two arrays, we compare the first elements of each array and place the smaller of the two in the sorted array, and then we make other comparisons to populate the rest of the array. In fact, all of the sorting algorithms we've seen so far are comparison sorts. But today we will cover counting sort, which relies on the values of elements in the array, and does not base all its decisions on comparisons. -

Improving the Performance of Bubble Sort Using a Modified Diminishing Increment Sorting
Scientific Research and Essay Vol. 4 (8), pp. 740-744, August, 2009 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/SRE ISSN 1992-2248 © 2009 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Improving the performance of bubble sort using a modified diminishing increment sorting Oyelami Olufemi Moses Department of Computer and Information Sciences, Covenant University, P. 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. -

This can be done in ts + tw time. n If we have more than one element per processor, we call this operation a compare split. Assume each of two processors have n/p elements. n After the compare-split operation, the smaller n/p elements are at processor Pi and the larger n/p elements at Pj, where i < j. -
Sorting Networks
Sorting Networks March 2, 2005 1 Model of Computation Can we do better by using different computes? Example: Macaroni sort. Can we do better by using the same computers? How much time does it take to compute the value of this circuit? We can compute this circuit in 4 time units. Namely, circuits are inherently parallel. Can we take advantage of this??? Let us consider the classical problem of sorting n numbers. Q: Can one sort in sublinear by allowing parallel comparisons? Q: What exactly is our computation model? 1 1.1 Computing with a circuit We are going to design a circuit, where the inputs are the numbers, and we compare two numbers using a comparator gate: ¢¤¦© ¡ ¡ Comparator ¡£¢¥¤§¦©¨ ¡ For our drawings, we will draw such a gate as follows: ¢¡¤£¦¥¨§ © ¡£¦ So, circuits would just be horizontal lines, with vertical segments (i.e., gates) between them. A complete sorting network, looks like: The inputs come on the wires on the left, and are output on the wires on the right. The largest number is output on the bottom line. The surprising thing, is that one can generate circuits from a sorting algorithm. In fact, consider the following circuit: Q: What does this circuit does? A: This is the inner loop of insertion sort. Repeating this inner loop, we get the following sorting network: 2 Alternative way of drawing it: Q: How much time does it take for this circuit to sort the n numbers? Running time = how many time clocks we have to wait till the result stabilizes. In this case: 5 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 In general, we get: Lemma 1.1 Insertion sort requires 2n − 1 time units to sort n numbers. -
Foundations of Differentially Oblivious Algorithms
Foundations of Differentially Oblivious Algorithms T-H. Hubert Chan Kai-Min Chung Bruce Maggs Elaine Shi August 5, 2020 Abstract It is well-known that a program's memory access pattern can leak information about its input. To thwart such leakage, most existing works adopt the technique of oblivious RAM (ORAM) simulation. Such an obliviousness notion has stimulated much debate. Although ORAM techniques have significantly improved over the past few years, the concrete overheads are arguably still undesirable for real-world systems | part of this overhead is in fact inherent due to a well-known logarithmic ORAM lower bound by Goldreich and Ostrovsky. To make matters worse, when the program's runtime or output length depend on secret inputs, it may be necessary to perform worst-case padding to achieve full obliviousness and thus incur possibly super-linear overheads. Inspired by the elegant notion of differential privacy, we initiate the study of a new notion of access pattern privacy, which we call \(, δ)-differential obliviousness". We separate the notion of (, δ)-differential obliviousness from classical obliviousness by considering several fundamental algorithmic abstractions including sorting small-length keys, merging two sorted lists, and range query data structures (akin to binary search trees). We show that by adopting differential obliv- iousness with reasonable choices of and δ, not only can one circumvent several impossibilities pertaining to full obliviousness, one can also, in several cases, obtain meaningful privacy with little overhead relative to the non-private baselines (i.e., having privacy \almost for free"). On the other hand, we show that for very demanding choices of and δ, the same lower bounds for oblivious algorithms would be preserved for (, δ)-differential obliviousness. -

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 . -
