Abstract:

Sorting problems have long been one of the foundations of theoretical computer science. Sorting problems attempt to learn properties of an unknown total order of a known set. We test the order by comparing pairs of elements, and through repeated tests deduce some order structure on the set. The set-maxima problem is: given a family S of subsets of a set X, produce the maximal element of each element of S. Local sorting is a sub-problem of set-maxima, when S ` i
