トーナメントソートを使用する

トーナメントソート (tournament sort) は、各要素を葉とする完全二分木を用意し、隣接する葉同士の比較で勝者(昇順なら小さい方のインデックス)を親へ伝播させるトーナメント木を構築する。

根には常に未処理領域の最小要素の位置が残るため、最小を1つ取り出すたびに根から葉へ向かって木だけを更新すればよく、毎回配列全体を走査する選択ソートより比較回数を抑えられる。

  1. 木の準備: 要素数 n 以上の2の冪 k の葉を持つ配列 tree を用意する。葉 tree[k+i] にはインデックス i(\(i \ge n\) の余りは無効)を入れる。
  2. 構築: 葉から根へ向かい、各内部ノードに左右の子の勝者インデックスを記録する。
  3. 抽出: 根 tree[1] が示すインデックスの値を出力位置へ書き出し、その葉を比較から外す。
  4. 更新: 無効化した葉から親へ遡り、各内部ノードの勝者を再計算する。
  5. 繰り返し: n 回手順3〜4を行えば昇順に整列する。
procedure tournament_sort(A)
  n = length(A)
  k = smallest power of 2 with k >= n
  build tree leaves with indices 0 .. k-1 (padding invalid)
  for i from k-1 down to 1
    tree[i] = winner(A, tree[2i], tree[2i+1])
  for pos from 0 to n - 1
    idx = tree[1]
    output[pos] = A[idx]
    mark A[idx] as removed (sentinel)
    update tree along path from leaf k + idx to root
  copy output back into A

選択ソートより比較回数を抑えられ、全体で \(O(n \log n)\) 程度だが、トーナメント木に \(O(n)\) の追加領域が要り、不安定である。

外部ソートの置換選択(replacement selection)で「次に小さいレコード」を繰り返し取り出す構造と同型であり、ディスク上の連続ブロックから順位を決める場面で名前がよく登場する。

類似アルゴリズムとの相違点

選択ソートと同じく最小を繰り返し確定するが、トーナメント木で比較結果を再利用する。
