After all elements are distributed into piles, the piles are merged to produce a sorted sequence. This algorithm is closely related to the longest increasing subsequence problem. Problem Given a sequence $A$ of length $n$,...

Patience Sort with Piles

Patience Sort with Piles Patience sort with piles is the full sorting version of patience sorting. It builds piles using the same rule as the LIS method, then merges the piles to produce a sorted sequence. You use it when you want a conceptually simple sorting method based on binary search and merging. Problem Given an array ( A ), sort it by: building piles using patience sorting rules merging...
