The Ford-Johnson algorithm, discovered by Lester R. Ford Jr. and Selmer M. Johnson in 1959, is historically significant as it was the first algorithm to sort n elements with fewer than the information ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

Insertion Sort works by dividing the list into two parts: the sorted part and the unsorted part. It repeatedly takes the next element from the unsorted part and inserts it into the correct position in ...

Abstract: Focusing on the impact different ways of formalization have on the according verifications of sorting algorithm, this paper presents the formal specifications of insertion sort, and verifies ...
