Complexity of Sorting

Complexity Analysis

Following are the Complexities of different sorting Algorithms are given below.

Complexity of bubble sort

c ((n-1) + (n-2) + ... + 1) + k + c1(n-1)

(n-1) + (n-2) + ... + 1 = n(n-1)/2

so our function equals

c n*(n-1)/2 + k + c1(n-1) = 1/2c (n2-n) + c(n-1) + k

complexity O(n2).

Complexity of Heap sort

time complexity

` Analysis 1:

` Each callto MAX‐HEAPIFY costsO(lgn), and there areO(n)such

calls.

` Thus,the running time isO(nlgn). This upper bound,through

correct, is not asymptotically tight.

Complexity of Select Sort

Worst Case Analysis
Most executed instruction are those in inner for loop (if)

Each such instruction is executed (N-1) + (N-2) + ... + 2 + 1 times

Time complexity: O(N2)

Complexity of  Heap Sort

Heap sort requires:

· n steps to form the heap

· and n n 2 ( -1) log steps in the removes/siftDowns.

So the total number of steps is

n n n 2 + ( -1) log

» n n 2 log

This is the same as the average cost of quick sort.

The average and worst performance of heap sort is n n 2 log which is also the average

performance of quick sort. However, quick sort can be unstable in its performance

depending on how well it chooses a pivot. At worst quick sort takes / 2 2 n steps. So

if you are not sure about the nature of the data and want guaranteed performance,

heap sort is better.

Complexity of heap sort = O( n n 2 log )

Complexity of Quick Sort

Worst-case: O(N2)

This happens when the pivot is the smallest (or the largest) element.

Then one of the partitions is empty, and we repeat recursively the procedure for N-1 elements.

Best-case O(NlogN) The best case is when the pivot is the median of the array,

and then the left and the right part will have same size.

There are logN partitions, and to obtain each partitions we do N comparisons

(and not more than N/2 swaps). Hence the complexity is O(NlogN)

Average-case - O(NlogN)

Complexity of radix sort

• Inner loop 1 takes O(s_i) time where s_i = number of different values of type t_i
• Inner loop 2 takes O(n) time
• Inner loop 3 times O(s_i) time

Thus the total time

	=	O(si +  n)
	=	O kn +   si
	=	On  +  si

• For example, if keys are integers in the range 0 to n^k - 1, then we can view the integers as radix - n integers each k digits long. Then t_ihas range 0  ^...  n - 1 for 1  i  k.

Thus s_i = n and total running time is O(n)

Complexity of Shell Sort

The worst-case of your implementation is Θ(n^2) and the best-case is O(nlogn) which is reasonable for shell-sort.

The best case ∊ O(nlogn):

The best-case is when the array is already sorted. The would mean that the inner if statement will never be true, making the inner while loop a constant time operation. Using the bounds you've used for the other loops gives O(nlogn). The best case of O(n) is reached by using a constant number of increments.

The worst case ∊ O(n^2):

Complexity of Bucket Sort

The catch is what happens when you multiply this expression by k to get the total amount of work done. If you compute

k * (c₀(n / k) + c₁)

You get

c₀n + c₁k

As you can see, this expression depends directly on k, so the total runtime is O(n + k)

Complexity of cocktail Sort

The complexity of cocktail sort in big O notation is O(n^2) for both the worst case and the average case, but it becomes closer to O(n) if the list is mostly ordered before applying the sorting algorithm, for example, if every element is at a position that differs at most k (k ≥ 1) from the position it is going to end up in, the complexity of cocktail sort becomes O(k*n).

Complexity of Partial Sort

Partial sort does approximately (last - first) * log (middle-first) comparison

Complexity of Tim Sort

Tim sort (named after Tim Peters) is a sorting

algorithm that combines merge sort (for large sub lists)

and insertion sort (for small sub lists) to perform well

on many kinds of real-world data.

It is the sorting algorithm used in Python since 2002.

Tim sort is comparison-based, which means it will be

O(n log n) in the worst case, but in practice it

outperforms many of the O(n log n) sorting

algorithms.

It makes use of partially sorted sublists and makes its

merges very efficient.

Complexity of gnome Sort

The performance of the gnome sort algorithm is at least O(f(n)) where f(n) is the sum for each element in the input list of the distance to where that element should end up. For a "random" list of lengthL, an element at the beginning of the list is expected to be an average of L / 2 distance away from its sorted location. An element in the middle of the list is expected to be an average of L / 4 distance away from its sorted location. Since there are L total elements, f(n) is at least L * L / 4. Therefore, on average, gnome sort is O(n * n).

Complexity of Comb Sort

This is quite surprising. Despite being based on the idea of a Bubble Sort the time complexity is just O (n log n), and space complexity for in-place sorting is O(1). Amazing for such a simple sorting algorithm!
