Features: Sorting is an important class of combinatorial optimization problems and is widely applied in numerous fields such as management science, computer science, and engineering technology. This book primarily discusses the fundamental theories and algorithms of deterministic and stochastic sorting. The relevant knowledge of operations research used in the book is provided in the appendix, so only a background in advanced mathematics is required to read this book. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter to deepen the understanding of the content. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students majoring in applied mathematics, operations research and control theory, management science and engineering, systems engineering, and computer software and theory, as well as for scientists, engineers, and managers in related fields.
