  1. Design and Analysis of AlgorithmsNon-comparison sort (sorting in linear time) HaidongXue Summer 2012, at GSU

  2. Comparison based sorting • Algorithms that determine sorted order based only on comparisons between the input elements What is the lower bound?

  3. Lower bounds for comparison based sorting For n element array, how many possible inputs are there? <? N Factorial of n ----- n! Y What is the shortest tree can have n! leaves? <? <? A perfect tree, Y …… As a result …… <? ………………………….. N Y Done Done

  4. Sorting in linear time • Can we sort an array in linear time? • Yes, but not for free • E.g. sort cards with 13 slots • What if there are more than one elements in the same slot?

  5. Counting Sort • Input: array A[1, … , n]; k (elements in A have values from 1 to k) • Output: sorted array A Algorithm: • Create a counter array C[1, …, k] • Create an auxiliary array B[1, …, n] • Scan A once, record element frequency in C • Calculate prefix sum in C • Scan A in the reverse order, copy each element to B at the correct position according to C. • Copy B to A

  6. Counting Sort 6 7 8 2 1 3 4 5 2 3 A: 7 3 2 5 3 6 6 2 3 7 3 2 5 3 6 7 2 1 3 4 5 C: 0 2 0 1 1 1 3 0 2 3 5 8 5 6 7 4 5 7 1 2 6 Position indicator: 0 6 7 8 2 1 3 4 5 B:

  7. Analysis of Counting Sort • Input: array A[1, … , n]; k (elements in A have values from 1 to k) • Output: sorted array A Algorithm: • Create a counter array C[1, …, k] • Create an auxiliary array B[1, …, n] • Scan A once, record element frequency in C • Calculate prefix sum in C • Scan A in the reverse order, copy each element to B at the correct position according to C. • Copy B to A Time Space O(k) O(n) O(n) O(k) O(n) O(n) O(n+k)=O(n) (if k=O(n)) O(n+k)=O(n) (if k=O(n))

  8. Radix-Sort • Input: array A[1, … , n]; d (number of digit a element has) • Output: sorted array A Algorithm: for each digit{ use a stable sort to sort A on a digit } T(n)=O(d(n+k))

  9. Summary Design strategies: Divide and conquer Employ certain special data structure Tradeoff between time and space

  10. Knowledge tree Algorithms Classic data structure Analysis Algorithms for classic problems Design … Sorting Shortest path Matrix multiplication Asymptotic notations Probabilistic analysis Heap, Hashing, Binary Tree, RBT, …. Dynamic Programming Greedy Divide & Conquer O(), o(), (), (), () Quicksort, Heapsort, Mergesort, … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
