Abstract

The focus of this research is the class of sequential algorithms, called predictive sorting algorithms, for sorting a given set ofn elements using pairwise comparisons. The order in which these pairwise comparisons are made is defined by a fixed sequence of all unordered pairs of distinct integers {1, 2, ...,n} called a sort sequence. A predictive sorting algorithm associated with a sort sequence specifies pairwise comparisons of elements in the input set in the order defined by the sort sequence, except that the comparisons whose outcomes can be inferred from the preceding pairs of comparisons are not performed. In this paper predictive sorting algorithms are obtained, based on known sorting algorithms, and are shown to be required on the averageO(n logn) comparisons.
