ブリックソートを使用する

ブリックソート (brick sort) は、隣接2要素を比較し逆順なら入れ替える操作を、奇数インデックス側と偶数インデックス側の2種類の組に分けて交互に繰り返す。

奇偶転置ソート (odd-even sort) やパリティソート (parity sort) とも呼ばれ、レンガを積むように交互の組で整列が進むイメージから名付けられた。

  1. 偶数組: インデックス (0,1), (2,3), (4,5), … のペアを左サイドから順に見て、右の要素の方が小さければ入れ替える。
  2. 奇数組: インデックス (1,2), (3,4), (5,6), … のペアについて同様に比較・交換する。
  3. 収束: 偶数組と奇数組をまとめて 1 ラウンドとみなし、あるラウンドで一度も交換が起きなければ全体は昇順に整っているので終了する。

ラウンド内のペアは互いに独立して並列化でき、逐次実行では最悪計算量 O(n²) となる。安定ソートである。

procedure brick_sort(A)
  n = length(A)
  sorted = false
  while not sorted
    sorted = true
    for i from 0 to n - 2 by 2
      if A[i] > A[i + 1] then
        swap(A[i], A[i + 1])
        sorted = false
    for i from 1 to n - 2 by 2
      if A[i] > A[i + 1] then
        swap(A[i], A[i + 1])
        sorted = false

バブルソートと同様に局所的な交換だけで進むが、奇数組・偶数組を交互に適用する点が異なる。並列プロセッサ向けに設計されたアルゴリズムとして知られ、各組の比較・交換は互いに独立して実行できる。

類似アルゴリズムとの相違点

バブルソートは順方向走査だけ。ブリック(奇偶転置)は偶数・奇数インデックスのペアを交互に比較し、各組は独立して並列化できる。
