哪种算法可以只需要 O(N) 次移动就可以进行稳定的就地二进制划分?

我试图理解这篇论文:稳定的最小空间分区 在线性时间内。

似乎该主张的一个关键部分是

算法 B 对大小为 n 的位数组进行稳定排序 O(nlog2n) 时间和恒定的额外空间,但仅进行 O(n) 移动。

然而,该论文没有描述该算法,而只是引用了另一篇我无法访问的论文。我可以找到多种方法在时间范围内进行排序,但我很难找到一种保证 O(N) 次移动而不需要超过恒定空间的方法。

这个算法B是什么?换句话说,给定

boolean Predicate(Item* a);  //returns result of testing *a for some condition

一个函数 B(Item* a, size_t N);,它使用 Predicate 作为排序键对 a 进行稳定排序对 Predicate 的调用少于 nlog2n,并且仅对 a 执行 O(N) 写入?

I'm trying to understand this paper: Stable minimum space partitioning
in linear time.

It seems that a critical part of the claim is that

Algorithm B sorts stably a bit-array of size n in
O(nlog2n) time and constant extra space, but makes only O(n) moves.

However, the paper doesn't describe the algorithm, but only references another paper which I don't have access to. I can find several ways to do the sort within the time bounds, but I'm having trouble finding one that guarantees O(N) moves without also requiring more than constant space.

What is this Algorithm B? In other words, given

boolean Predicate(Item* a);  //returns result of testing *a for some condition

is there a function B(Item* a, size_t N); which stably sorts a using Predicate as the sort key with fewer than nlog2n calls to Predicate, and performs only O(N) writes to a?

我很想说这是不可能的。每当您计算 O(n log n) 数量的信息,但 (1) 无处存放它(恒定空间),并且 (2) 无处立即使用它(O(n) 移动)时,就会出现一些奇怪的情况上,可能涉及堆栈的大量使用(可能不包括在空间分析中,尽管它应该包括在内)。

如果您将临时信息存储在一个整数的许多位中,或者类似的东西,这可能是可能的。 (所以实际上是 O(1),但理论上是 O(log n)。)

基数排序并不能完全做到这一点,因为你必须调用谓词来创建数字,并且如果你不记住传递性进行比较,然后您将调用它 O(n^2) 次。 (但我认为,要记住每个项目需要 O(log n) 摊销空间。)

QED - 缺乏想象力的证明:)

I'm tempted to say that it isn't possible. Anytime you're computing O(n log n) amount of information but have (1) nowhere to stash it (constant space), and (2) nowhere to immediately use it (O(n) moves), there is something weird going on, possibly involving heavy use of the stack (which may not be included in the space analysis, although it should be).

It might be possible if you store temporary information inside many bits of just one integer, or something squirrelly like that. (So O(1) in practice, but O(log n) in theory.)

Radix sorting wouldn't quite do it because you'd have to call the predicate to create the digits, and if you don't memoize the transitivity of comparison then you'll call it O(n^2) times. (But to memoize it takes O(log n) amortized space per item, I think.)

QED - Proof by lack of imagination :)

这是我到目前为止所拥有的。 循环排序的一个版本,它使用位数组 用于保存分区测试的结果并动态计算目的地。它通过 N 次比较执行稳定的二进制分区,< N 次交换,以及恰好 2N 的已分配存储空间。

int getDest(int i, BitArray p, int nz)
{   bool b=BitArrayGet(p,i);
    int below = BitArrayCount1sBelow(p,i);  //1s below
    return (b)?(nz+below):i-below;
}

int BinaryCycleSort(Item* a, int n, BitArray p)
{
   int i, numZeros = n-BitArrayCount1sBelow(p,n);
   BitArray final = BitArrayNew(n);
   for (i=0;i<numZeros;i++)
      if (!BitArrayGet(final,i))
      {  int dest= GetDest(i,p,numZeros);
         while (dest!=i)                
         {  SwapItem(a+i,a+dest); 
            BitArraySet(final,dest);
            dest = getDest(dest,p,numZeros);
         }
         BitArraySet(final,dest);
      }
   return numZeros;
}

int BinaryPartition(Item* a, int n, Predicate pPred)
{ 
   int i;
   BitArray p = BitArrayNew(n);
   for (i=0;i<n;i++)
      if (pPred(a+i)) BitArraySet(p,i);
   return BinaryCycleSort(a,n,p);
}

使用这些助手:

typedef uint32_t BitStore;
typedef BitStore* BitArray;
BitArray BitArrayNew(int N); //returns array of N bits, all cleared
void BitArraySet(BitArray ba, int i); //sets ba[i] to 1
bool BitArrayGet(BitArray ba, int i); //returns ba[i]
int BitArrayCount1sBelow(BitArray ba, int i) //counts 1s in ba[0..i)

显然这不是恒定的空间。但我认为这可能会被用作实现最终目标的基石。可以使用 B 位的固定大小 BitArray 将整个数组划分为 N/B 个块。在执行稳定合并时是否有某种方法可以重用这些相同的位?

Here's what I have so far. A version of cycle sort which uses a bit array to hold the result of the partition tests and calculates the destinations on the fly. It performs a stable binary partition with N compares, < N swaps, and exactly 2N bits of allocated storage.

int getDest(int i, BitArray p, int nz)
{   bool b=BitArrayGet(p,i);
    int below = BitArrayCount1sBelow(p,i);  //1s below
    return (b)?(nz+below):i-below;
}

int BinaryCycleSort(Item* a, int n, BitArray p)
{
   int i, numZeros = n-BitArrayCount1sBelow(p,n);
   BitArray final = BitArrayNew(n);
   for (i=0;i<numZeros;i++)
      if (!BitArrayGet(final,i))
      {  int dest= GetDest(i,p,numZeros);
         while (dest!=i)                
         {  SwapItem(a+i,a+dest); 
            BitArraySet(final,dest);
            dest = getDest(dest,p,numZeros);
         }
         BitArraySet(final,dest);
      }
   return numZeros;
}

int BinaryPartition(Item* a, int n, Predicate pPred)
{ 
   int i;
   BitArray p = BitArrayNew(n);
   for (i=0;i<n;i++)
      if (pPred(a+i)) BitArraySet(p,i);
   return BinaryCycleSort(a,n,p);
}

using these helpers:

typedef uint32_t BitStore;
typedef BitStore* BitArray;
BitArray BitArrayNew(int N); //returns array of N bits, all cleared
void BitArraySet(BitArray ba, int i); //sets ba[i] to 1
bool BitArrayGet(BitArray ba, int i); //returns ba[i]
int BitArrayCount1sBelow(BitArray ba, int i) //counts 1s in ba[0..i)

Obviously this is not constant space. But I think this might be used as a building block to the ultimate goal. The whole array can be partitioned into N/B blocks using a fixed-size BitArray of B bits. Is there some way to re-use those same bits while performing a stable merge?

不是 RadixSort 吗?

O(kN)

Isn't RadixSort ?
