Insertion Sort and Its Analysis

This document discusses insertion sort and its analysis. It provides the pseudocode for insertion sort and analyzes its best and worst case running times. The best case running time is linear at Θ(n) while the worst case running time is quadratic at Θ(n2). Insertion sort is more efficient than algorithms with higher order growth like Θ(n3) as its worst case is only quadratic.

Insertion Sort Algorithm
INSERTION-SORT(A)
1. For j ← 2 to length [A]
2.     key ← A[j]
3.     Put A[j] into the sorted sequence A[1 . . j -1]
4.     i ← j -1
5.     while i > 0 and A[i] > key
6. A[i+1] ← A[i]
7.             i ← i-1
8.     A[i+1] ← key
Insertion Sort Continue
• Input Size
More input more time.

• Running Time
The number of primitive operations or steps
executed during a program execution is the running
time of algorithm.

Best Case Analysis

For Best Case tj=1. Putting the value of tj=1 in the above equation we get

T(n) = c1n + c2(n – 1) + c4(n – 1) + c5(n - 1) + c8(n – 1)

= (c1 + c2 + c4 + c5 + c8)n – (c2 + c4 + c5 + c8)

The above best case running time can be expressed as an+b. Thus it is a linear function of n.

T(n) = Θ(n)

Putting these values in the above equation will give us the following

T(n) = c1n +c2(n – 1) + c4(n –1) + c5 ((n(n+1)/2) –1) + c6(n(n-1)/2) + c7 (n(n-1)/2) + c8(n – 1)

= (c5/2 + c6/2 + c7/2)n2 + (c1 + c2 + c4 + c5/2 – c6/2 – c7/2 + c8)n - (c2 + c4 + c5 + c8)

The above worse case running time can be expressed as an 2 + bn + c. So It is quadratic function of n

T(n) = Θ(n2)
Insertion Sort Continue
Order Of Growth Ө
If an algorithm has lower order of growth for its worst case analysis, then that
algorithm is more efficient than another.

The worst case running time for insertion sort is

an2 + bn + c

= an2 ( lower-order terms are insignificant for larger no. of inputs.)

= Ө (n2)

Insertion sort will run more quickly in the worst case than a Ө( n3) algorithm.
