比例拡張ソートで配列を並び替える
比例拡張ソートを使用する
比例拡張ソート (proportion extend sort, PESort) は、整列済み接頭辞 S と未整列部分 U に分け、$$ |
U | > p \cdot | S | $$ の間は S と U の先頭をまとめて整列して S を伸ばし、十分短い U だけが残ったら S の中央値で分割して再帰する。 |
クイックソートの分割を土台に、最悪計算量 \(O(n^2)\) を避けようとする比較ソートである。
クイックソートは分割が 1 回の走査で済み、現代 CPU のメモリ階層と相性がよい。一方、ピボット選びが偏ると片側だけ巨大な部分問題が残り、最悪時間計算量が \(O(n^2)\) になりうる。
比例拡張ソートは整列済み接頭辞 S と 未整列部分 U に区間を分けて考え、|U| が $$p \cdot |
S | \(を超える間は `S` と `U` の先頭\)p \cdot | S | $$ 要素をまとめて整列して S を伸ばす。十分短い U だけが残ったら S の中央値をピボットに分割し、左右へ再帰する。サンプルソートに近い「小さな整列済み標本からピボットを得る」発想である。 |
- 接頭辞の初期化: 先頭 1 要素(または少数要素)を整列済み接頭辞
Sとみなす。 -
比例拡張: $$ U > p \cdot S \(のあいだ、`S` と `U` の先頭\)p \cdot S $$ 要素をまとめて整列し、結果を新しい Sとする。 - 中央値ピボット:
Sの中央値をピボットとして部分配列を分割する(実装ではロムート分割型クイックソートと同様の分割が用いられる)。 - 再帰: ピボットより小さい側・大きい側に同じ手順を適用する。十分短い区間は挿入ソートで仕上げる。
procedure proportion_extend_sort(A, lo, hi, p)
if hi - lo <= INSERTION_THRESHOLD then
insertion_sort(A, lo, hi)
return
s_end = lo
while s_end < hi and (hi - s_end) > p * (s_end - lo + 1)
chunk_end = min(s_end + p * (s_end - lo + 1), hi)
proportion_extend_sort(A, lo, chunk_end, p)
s_end = chunk_end
median = lo + floor((s_end - lo) / 2)
pivot = partition(A, lo, hi, median)
proportion_extend_sort(A, lo, pivot - 1, p)
proportion_extend_sort(A, pivot + 1, hi, p)
パラメータ p は「未整列部分 ÷ 整列済み接頭辞」の上限である(文献によって定義が異なるので実装時は論文・ソースの取り方に注意する)。\(p \approx 16\) 付近で平均性能がよく、p を小さくすると最悪ケースが改善しやすい。p が無限大に近いとクイックソート、未整列部分が 1 要素に近いと二分探索挿入ソートに近い振る舞いになる。
クイックソートの最悪計算量 \(O(n^2)\) を避けつつ、最悪計算量 \(O(n \log n)\) を保つが、不安定である。
以下のデモでは小配列でも拡張フェーズが見えるように p = 2、小区間閾値 4、分割はロムート型で実行する。青枠は整列済み接頭辞、紫は中央値ピボット、オレンジは比較、緑は交換を表す。
類似アルゴリズムとの相違点
ロムート分割型クイックソートと同様に分割するが、整列済み接頭辞を伸ばしてから中央値で切るため最悪計算量 \(O(n \log n)\) を狙える。対称分割ソートは標本を両端へ置いてから分割する。
