# split in half m = n / 2 # recursive sorts sort a sort a # merge sorted sub-arrays using temp array b = copy of a i = 1, j = m+1, k = 1 while i <= m and j <= n, a = (a < b) ? a : b → invariant: a in final position while i <= m, a = b → invariant: a in final position Merge sort is very predictable. PROPERTIES: Not stable O(1) extra space O(n3/2) time as shown (see below) Adaptive: O(n lg(n)) sorting algorithms for some applications when the data to be sorted is not very large.Because of its low overhead, relatively simple implementation, adaptive properties, and sub-quadratic time complexity, shell sort may be a viable alternative to the O(n For the increment sequence shown above, there are log3(n) increments, so the time complexity for nearly sorted data is O(n The adapation is not as dramatic because shell sort requires one pass through the data for each increment, but it is significant. Because shell sort is based on insertion sort, shell sort inherits insertion sort's adaptive properties. Neither tight upper bounds on time complexity nor the best increment sequence are known. For other increments, time complexity is known to be O(n4/3) and even O(n ![]() For the increments 1 4 13 40 121., which is what is used here, the time complexity is O(n3/2). H = 1 while h 0, h = h / 3 for k = 1:h, insertion sort a → invariant: each h-sub-array is sorted end The worse-case time complexity of shell sort depends on the increment sequence.
