    In 1952, he received a B.Sc. in mathematics from King's College, University of London. [9]In England, he worked as a programmer for Elliot Automation, [9] formerly Elliot Brothers (London) Limited, where he invented heapsort and used it to create the event-driven Elliott Simulator Package (ESP) with the help of C. A. R. (Tony) Hoare.

  3. Heapsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heapsort

    The heapsort algorithm can be divided into two phases: heap construction, and heap extraction. The heap is an implicit data structure which takes no space beyond the array of objects to be sorted; the array is interpreted as a complete binary tree where each array element is a node and each node's parent and child links are defined by simple arithmetic on the array indexes.

  4. External sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_sorting

    external sorting algorithm. External sorting is a class of sorting algorithms that can handle massive amounts of data.External sorting is required when the data being sorted do not fit into the main memory of a computing device (usually RAM) and instead they must reside in the slower external memory, usually a disk drive.

  5. Adaptive heap sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_heap_sort

    In computer science, adaptive heap sort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm of the adaptive sort family. It is a variant of heap sort that performs better when the data contains existing order. Published by Christos Levcopoulos and Ola Petersson in 1992, the algorithm utilizes a new measure of presortedness, Osc, as the number of ...

  6. Weak heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_heap

    Weak heaps may be used to sort an array, in essentially the same way as a conventional heapsort. [3] First, a weak heap is built out of all of the elements of the array, and then the root is repeatedly exchanged with the last element, which is sifted down to its proper place. A weak heap of n elements can be formed in n − 1 merges. It can be ...

  7. Heap (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_(data_structure)

    Example of a binary max-heap with node keys being integers between 1 and 100. In computer science, a heap is a tree-based data structure that satisfies the heap property: In a max heap, for any given node C, if P is the parent node of C, then the key (the value) of P is greater than or equal to the key of C.

    List of free analog and digital electronic circuit simulators, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and comparing against UC Berkeley SPICE.The following table is split into two groups based on whether it has a graphical visual interface or not.

  9. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    Basis: Heap's Algorithm trivially permutes an array A of size 1 as outputting A is the one and only permutation of A. Induction: Assume Heap's Algorithm permutes an array of size i . Using the results from the previous proof, every element of A will be in the "buffer" once when the first i elements are permuted.
