Induction: assume correct for k < n, algorithm sorts smaller halves by induction, and then merge merges into a sorted array as proved above.

Earlier in class we discussed a sort called selection sort: Find the smallest unfixed item, move it to the front, and ‘fix’ it. Sort the remaining unfixed items using selection sort. Look at all N unfixed items to …

Def. AA sorting algorithm is in-place if it uses ≤ c log N extra memory. Ex. Insertion sort, selection sort, shellsort.

The sort in step 2 of Radix sort is usually done using bucket sort or counting sort, which are efficient in this case

Now, if this list is sorted again by tutorial group number, a stable sort algorithm would ensure that all students in the same tutorial groups still appear in alphabetical order of their names

• A correct sorting algorithm must be able to distinguish between any two different permutations of N items. • If the algorithm is based on comparing elements, it can only compare one pair at a time.
