Bingheng Wang Dept. of Computer Science Florida Institute of Technology Melbourne FL 32904 [email protected] ABSTRACT Given a list of elements, we rearrange the list with ascending or descending order. So far the existing approaches involve Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, Selection Sort ( respectively in worst case) performing slow. Now we introduce a new algorithm Merge Sort to solve the problem ...

In this paper we analyze the implementation of socially optimal mergers when the regulator is not informed about all parameters that determine social and private gains from potential mergers. We show that implementation requires a certain degree of agreement between social and private incentives. The most important example where this congruence is present is when the uncertainty refers to cost ...

Merging two sorted arrays is a prominent building block for sorting and other functions. Its efficient parallelization requires balancing the load among compute cores, minimizing the extra work brought about by parallelization, and minimizing inter-thread synchronization requirements. Due to the extremely low compute to memoryaccess ratio, it is also critically important to efficiently utilize ...

The merge-and-shrink framework provides a general basis for the computation of abstraction heuristics for factored transition systems. Recent experimental and theoretical research demonstrated the utility of non-linear merge strategies, which have not been studied in depth. We experimentally analyze the quality of state-of-the-art merge strategies by comparing them to random strategies and with...
