Abstract:The minimum-comparison sorting is the problem of finding the minimum number of key comparisons needed to sort n elements in the worst case. Let S(n) be the minimum number of comparisons that will suffice to sort n elements. M.Wells found that S(12)=30 by an exhaustive search in 1965. With the help of parallel computer,M.Peczarski improved Wells algorithm and proved that S(13)=34,S(14)=38 and S(22)=71 in 2002 and 2004 respectively. The authors extend both Wells algorithm and Peczarski algorithm. Some new results that S(15)=42 and S(19)=58 are first proved on a parallel computer named NKStars.
