Abstract

We consider the problem of sorting sequences obtained from a sorted sequence of n keys by changing the values of at most \mathkeys at some unknown positions. Since even for \matha lower bound \mathon the number of parallel comparison steps applies, any comparator network solving this problem cannot be asymptotically faster than the AKS sorting network.We design a comparator network which sorts the sequences considered for a large range of \math, has a simple architecture and achieves a runtime \math, for a small constant c. We present such networks of depth \mathwith a small constant hidden behind the big "Oh". In particular, for \maththe networks are of depth \math.
