Abstract

We consider the problem of sorting N-element inputs differing from already sorted sequences by t small changes. To perform this task we construct a constant depth comparator network that is applied periodically. The two constructions for this problem made, by previous authors required O(log n + t) iterations of the network. Our construction requires O(log n + (log log N)2(log t)3) iterations which makes it asymptotically faster for t log N.
