Anyone who has taken a basic computer science class has undoubtedly spent time devising a sorting algorithm—code that will take an unordered list of items and put them in ascending or descending order ...

A merge sort uses smaller, ordered lists which are easier to sort and merge than larger lists. It is usually more efficient and quicker than the bubble sort. It is more complex to code. It will still ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

Chinese scientists have developed a faster and more energy-efficient method to sort data, which could be used to overcome limitations in scientific computing, artificial intelligence, and hardware ...

We derive and compare the operating characteristics of hierarchical and square array-based testing algorithms for case identification in the presence of testing error ...
