The conjecture was disproved in 1959 by L. R. Ford Jr. and Selmer M. Johnson, who found a different sorting algorithm, the Ford–Johnson merge-insertion sort, using fewer comparisons. [1] The same sequence of sorting numbers also gives the worst-case number of comparisons used by merge sort to sort items. [2]

Sorting a set of unlabelled weights by weight using only a balance scale requires a comparison sort algorithm. A comparison sort is a type of sorting algorithm that only reads the list elements through a single abstract comparison operation (often a "less than or equal to" operator or a three-way comparison) that determines which of two elements should occur first in the final sorted list.
If the number m of buckets is linear in the input size n, each bucket has a constant size, so sorting a single bucket with an O(n 2) algorithm like insertion sort has complexity O(1 2) = O(1). The running time of the final insertion sorts is therefore m ⋅ O(1) = O ( m ) = O ( n ) .
In computer programming, an anonymous function (function literal, expression or block) is a function definition that is not bound to an identifier.Anonymous functions are often arguments being passed to higher-order functions or used for constructing the result of a higher-order function that needs to return a function.

In computer science, integer sorting is the algorithmic problem of sorting a collection of data values by integer keys. Algorithms designed for integer sorting may also often be applied to sorting problems in which the keys are floating point numbers, rational numbers, or text strings. [1]
The running time of LPT is dominated by the sorting, which takes O(n log n) time, where n is the number of inputs. LPT is monotone in the sense that, if one of the input numbers increases, the objective function (the largest sum or the smallest sum of a subset in the output) weakly increases. [2] This is in contrast to Multifit algorithm.
