Oscillating merge sort

Oscillating merge sort or oscillating sort is a variation of merge sort used with tape drives that can read backwards. Instead of doing a complete distribution as is done in a tape merge, the distribution of the input and the merging of runs are interspersed. The oscillating merge sort does not waste rewind time or have tape drives sit idle as in the conventional tape merge. The oscillating merge sort "was designed for tapes that can be read backward and is more efficient generally than either the polyphase or cascade merges." (Wikipedia).

Merge Sort 1 – The Algorithm

This is the first in a series of videos about the merge sort. It describes the principle of the merge sort algorithm, which takes a ‘divide and conquer’ approach to the problem of sorting and unordered list. The videos that follow build on these principles, leading towards a recursive im

Merge Sort 2 – Towards an Implementation (Split a List)

This is the second in a series of videos about the merge sort. It includes a description of an algorithm and pseudocode for taking an unordered list and splitting it into two separate unordered lists. The videos that follow build on these principles, leading towards a recursive implement

Merge Sort 3 – Towards an Implementation (Merge Two Lists)

This is the third in a series of videos about the merge sort. It includes a description of an algorithm and pseudocode for merging together two ordered lists into a single ordered list. The videos that follow build on these principles, leading towards a recursive implementation of a merg

Merge Sort 4 – Towards an Implementation (Recursive Function)

This is the fourth in a series of videos about the merge sort. It includes a description of some pseudocode which combines into a single recursive function a helper program for splitting a list, and a helper program for merging a pair of ordered lists. This video describes how successive

Massimo Ferri (8/30/21): Selection of points in persistence diagrams

The need for point selection in a persistence diagram is shown. We recall V. Kurlin's selection criterion, intended for producing a hierarchy of segmentations out of a point cloud: diagonal gaps. We also show some applications of it on generalised persistence functions. Then we introduce t
