Abstract

We present a practically efficient algorithm for the internal sorting problem. Our algorithm works in-place and, on the average, has a running-time of O(n log n) in the length n of the input. More specifically, the algorithm performs n log n + 3n comparisons and n log n + 2:65n element moves on the average. An experimental comparison of our proposed algorithm with the most efficient variants of Quicksort and Heapsort is carried out and its results are discussed.
