In computer science, merge-insertion sort or the Ford–Johnson algorithm is a comparison sorting algorithm published in 1959 by L. R. Ford Jr. and Selmer...

two elements with a comparison operator. General method: insertion, exchange, selection, merging, etc. Exchange sorts include bubble sort and quicksort...

sort, such as insertion sort, and a fast sequential merge as a base case for merging small arrays. It seems arbitrary to restrict the merge sort algorithms...

Block sort, or block merge sort, is a sorting algorithm combining at least two merge operations with an insertion sort to arrive at O(n log n) (see Big...

Timsort is a hybrid, stable sorting algorithm, derived from merge sort and insertion sort, designed to perform well on many kinds of real-world data. It...

If the insertion causes the C0 component to exceed a certain size threshold, a contiguous segment of entries is removed from C0 and merged into C1 on...

support insertion in O(1) (constant) amortized time, and O(log n) worst-case. Leftist trees are advantageous because of their ability to merge quickly...
