New Book-Sorting Algorithm Almost Reaches Perfection
SMRTR summary
Computer scientists have developed a new algorithm for organizing books or data that approaches the theoretical ideal for efficiency. The algorithm, which combines limited historical knowledge with randomness, achieves an average insertion time of (log n) times (log log n)³, nearly reaching the lower bound of log n for the library sorting problem.
