1 1 Chapter 7: Sorting (Insertion Sort, Shellsort) CE 221 Data Structures and Algorithms Izmir University of Economics Text: Read Weiss, § 7.1 – 7.4

2 2 Preliminaries Main memory sorting algorithms All algorithms are Interchangeable; an array containing the N elements will be passed. “ ” (comparison) and “=“ (assignment) are the only operations allowed on the input data : comparison-based sorting Izmir University of Economics

3 3 Insertion Sort One of the simplest sorting algorithms Consists of N-1 passes. for pass p = 1 to N-1 (0 thru p-1 already known to be sorted) –elements in position 0 trough p (p+1 elements) are sorted by moving the element left until a smaller element is encountered.

4 4 Insertion Sort - Algorithm typedef int ElementType; void InsertionSort( ElementType A[ ], int N ) { int j, P; ElementType Tmp; for( P = 1; P < N; P++ ) { Tmp = A[ P ]; for( j = P; j > 0 && A[ j - 1 ] > Tmp; j-- ) A[ j ] = A[ j - 1 ]; A[ j ] = Tmp; } N*N iterations, hence, time complexity = O(N 2 ) in the worst case.This bound is tight (input in the reverse order). Number of element comparisons in the inner loop is p, summing up over all p = 1+2+...+N-1 = Θ(N 2 ). If the input is sorted O(N). Izmir University of Economics

5 5 A Lower Bound for Simple Sorting Algorithms An inversion in an array of numbers is any ordered pair (i, j) such that a[i] > a[j]. In the example; 9 inversions. Swapping two adjacent elements that are out of place removes exactly one inversion and a sorted array has no inversions. The running time of insertion sort O(I+N). Izmir University of Economics

6 6 Average Running Time for Simple Sorting - I Theorem: The average number of inversions for N distinct elements is N(N-1)/4. Proof: It is the sum of the number of inversions in N! different permutations divided by N!. Each permutation L has a corresponding permutation L R which is reversed in sequence. If L has x inversions, then L R has N(N-1)/2 – x inversions. As a result ((N(N-1)/2) * (N!/2)) / N! = N(N-1)/4 is the number of inversions for an average list. Izmir University of Economics

7 7 Theorem: Any algorithm that sorts by exchanging adjacent elements requires Ω(N 2 ) time on average. Proof: Initially there exists N(N-1)/4 inversions on the average and each swap removes only one inversion, so Ω(N 2 ) swaps are required. This is valid for all types of sorting algorithms (including those undiscovered) that perform only adjacent exchanges. Result: For a sorting algorithm to run subquadratic (o(N 2 )), it must exchange elements that are far apart (eliminating more than just one inversion per exchange).

8 8 Shellsort - I Shellsort, invented by Donald Shell, works by comparing elements that are distant; the distance decreases as the algorithm runs until the last phase (diminishing increment sort) Sequence h 1, h 2,..., h t is called the increment sequence. h 1 = 1 always. After a phase, using h k, for every i, a[i] ≤ a[i+h k ]. The file is then said to be h k -sorted. Izmir University of Economics

9 9 Shellsort - II An h k -sorted file that is then h k-1 -sorted remains h k -sorted. To h k -sort, for each i in h k,h k +1,...,N-1, place the element in the correct spot among i, i-h k, i-2h k. This is equivalent to performing an insertion sort on h k independent subarrays. Izmir University of Economics

10 10 Shellsort - III void Shellsort( ElementType A[ ], int N ) { int i, j, Increment; ElementType Tmp; for( Increment = N / 2; Increment > 0; Increment /= 2 ) for( i = Increment; i < N; i++ ) { Tmp = A[ i ]; for( j = i; j >= Increment; j -= Increment ) if( Tmp < A[ j - Increment ] ) A[ j ] = A[ j - Increment ]; else break; A[ j ] = Tmp; } Increment sequence by Shell: h t =floor(N/2), h k =floor(h k+1 /2) (poor) Izmir University of Economics

11 11 Worst-Case Analysis of Shellsort - I Theorem: The worst case running time of Shellsort, using Shell’s increments, is Θ(N 2 ). Proof: part I: prove Ω(N 2 )= Why? smallest N/2 elements goes from position 2i-1 to i during the last pass. Previous passes all have even increments. Izmir University of Economics

12 12 Proof: part II: prove O(N 2 ) A pass with increment h k consists of h k insertion sorts of about N/h k elements. One pass,hence, is O(h k (N/h k ) 2 ). Summing over all passes which is O(N 2 ). Shell’s increments: pairs of increments are not relatively prime. Hibbard’s increments: 1, 3, 7,..., 2 k -1 Worst-Case Analysis of Shellsort - II Izmir University of Economics

13 13 Worst-Case Analysis of Shellsort - III Theorem: The worst case running time of Shellsort, using Hibbard’s increments, is Θ(N 3/2 ). Proof: (results from additive number theory) - for h k >N 1/2 use the bound O(N 2 /h k ) // h k =1, 3, 7,..., 2 t -1 -h k+2 done, h k+1 done, h k now. -a[p-i] < a[p] if -but h k+2 =2h k+1 +1 hence gcd(h k+2, h k+1 ) = 1 -Thus all can be expressed as such. -Therefore; innermost for loop executes O(h k ) times for each N-h k positions. This gives a bound of O(Nh k ) per pass. Izmir University of Economics
