A composition of an integer v is a set of K integers such that their sum is v (and order matters). For instance the 3-sized compositions of 2 are:
2 0 0
1 1 0
1 0 1
0 2 0
0 1 1
0 0 2
A simple C++ algorithm to obtains these compositions can be found here:
void print(std::vector<int>& a) {
std::ostream_iterator<int> i(std::cout, " ");
std::copy(a.begin(), a.end(), i);
std::cout << "\n";
}
void recurse(std::vector<int>& a, int pos, int remaining) {
if (remaining == 0) { print(a); return; }
if (pos == a.size()) { return; }
for (int i = remaining; i >= 0; --i) {
a[pos] = i;
recurse(a, pos + 1, remaining - i);
}
}
int main() {
int v = 2, k = 3;
std::vector<int> a(k);
recurse(a, 0, v);
return 0;
}
But I need something a bit more complex:
I need to find the compositions of a integer vector. That is, given a vector v=(v1, v2, v3) I need to find all their individual compositions and then create all possible combinations. If C is a matrix where I put a partition of v1 in the first row, a partition of v2 in the second row, and a partition of v3 in the third row, then the sum of row f in C gives v[f]
For instance, the vector (1,2) of size F=2, if we set K=2, can be decomposed in:
# all sets of K vectors such that their sum is (1,2)
C_1 = 1,0 C_2 = 1,0 C_3 = 1,0 C_4 = 0,1 C_5 = 0,1 C_6 = 0,1
2,0 1,1 0,2 2,0 1,1 0,2
The goal is to apply some function to each possible C. How can I do it it C++? I don't mind using generators, recursive or iterative algorithms as long as it does de job (as fast as possible).
Python
The implementation in Python is quite nice using recursions, yield, and the itertools library
import numpy as np
import itertools
# Generator to yield all K-size compositions of integer n
def findCombiR(n,K):
if K==1:
yield [n]
return
for i in range(0,n+1):
for result in findCombiR(n-i,K-1):
yield [i] + result
# Generator to yield all K-size compositions of a F-length vector
def findCombiR_v(v,K):
out = []
for f in range(0, len(v)):
out.append(findCombiR(v[f],K))
return out
# Main
####################
v = [1,2]
F = len(v)
K = 2
# C stores F composition generators, one for each element in v.
C = findCombiR_v(v,K)
#"product" combines all possible outputs of the F generators
for c in itertools.product(*C):
c = np.reshape(c, (F,K))
print(c, '\n')
A solution using recursivity:
We know how to generate all compositions of an integer (see code in the question). To generate matrices that represent all combinations of compositions of F integers, we just create all possible compositions of integer f, and each time we find a new composition we call the algorithm again to find all possible compositions of the integer f+1. Each time we find a composition in the last integer means we have completed a valid matrix C.
#include <iostream>
#include <armadillo>
using namespace arma;
void recursevec(arma::ivec v, arma::imat& C, int f, int pos, int remaining) {
// If there is no remaining left, we completed a new composition for v[f]
if (remaining == 0) {
// If elements in v left, get the combinations of v[f+1]
if(f < (C.n_rows-1)){
recursevec(v, C, f+1, 0, v[f+1]);
return;
}
// If last f, then we are done and we completed a new C
else {
std::cout << C << std::endl;
return;
}
}
// If position pointer got out of the vector,
// then there is nothing to do
if (pos == C.n_cols) { return; }
// Else, continue allocating the remaining in all possible ways
for (int i = remaining; i >= 0; --i) {
C(f, pos) = i;
recursevec(v, C, f, pos + 1, remaining - i);
}
}
// Test vector compositions
int main() {
arma::ivec v = {1,2};
int F = v.size();
int K = 2;
arma::imat C(F,K);
recursevec(v, C, 0, 0, v[0]);
return 0;
}
I know the question is not too specific.
All I want is someone to tell me how to convert a normal merge sort into an in-place merge sort (or a merge sort with constant extra space overhead).
All I can find (on the net) is pages saying "it is too complex" or "out of scope of this text".
The only known ways to merge in-place (without any extra space) are too complex to be reduced to practical program. (taken from here)
Even if it is too complex, what is the basic concept of how to make the merge sort in-place?
Knuth left this as an exercise (Vol 3, 5.2.5). There do exist in-place merge sorts. They must be implemented carefully.
First, naive in-place merge such as described here isn't the right solution. It downgrades the performance to O(N2).
The idea is to sort part of the array while using the rest as working area for merging.
For example like the following merge function.
void wmerge(Key* xs, int i, int m, int j, int n, int w) {
while (i < m && j < n)
swap(xs, w++, xs[i] < xs[j] ? i++ : j++);
while (i < m)
swap(xs, w++, i++);
while (j < n)
swap(xs, w++, j++);
}
It takes the array xs, the two sorted sub-arrays are represented as ranges [i, m) and [j, n) respectively. The working area starts from w. Compare with the standard merge algorithm given in most textbooks, this one exchanges the contents between the sorted sub-array and the working area. As the result, the previous working area contains the merged sorted elements, while the previous elements stored in the working area are moved to the two sub-arrays.
However, there are two constraints that must be satisfied:
The work area should be within the bounds of the array. In other words, it should be big enough to hold elements exchanged in without causing any out-of-bound error.
The work area can be overlapped with either of the two sorted arrays; however, it must ensure that none of the unmerged elements are overwritten.
With this merging algorithm defined, it's easy to imagine a solution, which can sort half of the array; The next question is, how to deal with the rest of the unsorted part stored in work area as shown below:
... unsorted 1/2 array ... | ... sorted 1/2 array ...
One intuitive idea is to recursive sort another half of the working area, thus there are only 1/4 elements haven't been sorted yet.
... unsorted 1/4 array ... | sorted 1/4 array B | sorted 1/2 array A ...
The key point at this stage is that we must merge the sorted 1/4 elements B
with the sorted 1/2 elements A sooner or later.
Is the working area left, which only holds 1/4 elements, big enough to merge
A and B? Unfortunately, it isn't.
However, the second constraint mentioned above gives us a hint, that we can exploit it by arranging the working area to overlap with either sub-array if we can ensure the merging sequence that the unmerged elements won't be overwritten.
Actually, instead of sorting the second half of the working area, we can sort the first half, and put the working area between the two sorted arrays like this:
... sorted 1/4 array B | unsorted work area | ... sorted 1/2 array A ...
This setup effectively arranges the work area overlap with the sub-array A. This idea
is proposed in [Jyrki Katajainen, Tomi Pasanen, Jukka Teuhola. ``Practical in-place mergesort''. Nordic Journal of Computing, 1996].
So the only thing left is to repeat the above step, which reduces the working area from 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, … When the working area becomes small enough (for example, only two elements left), we can switch to a trivial insertion sort to end this algorithm.
Here is the implementation in ANSI C based on this paper.
void imsort(Key* xs, int l, int u);
void swap(Key* xs, int i, int j) {
Key tmp = xs[i]; xs[i] = xs[j]; xs[j] = tmp;
}
/*
* sort xs[l, u), and put result to working area w.
* constraint, len(w) == u - l
*/
void wsort(Key* xs, int l, int u, int w) {
int m;
if (u - l > 1) {
m = l + (u - l) / 2;
imsort(xs, l, m);
imsort(xs, m, u);
wmerge(xs, l, m, m, u, w);
}
else
while (l < u)
swap(xs, l++, w++);
}
void imsort(Key* xs, int l, int u) {
int m, n, w;
if (u - l > 1) {
m = l + (u - l) / 2;
w = l + u - m;
wsort(xs, l, m, w); /* the last half contains sorted elements */
while (w - l > 2) {
n = w;
w = l + (n - l + 1) / 2;
wsort(xs, w, n, l); /* the first half of the previous working area contains sorted elements */
wmerge(xs, l, l + n - w, n, u, w);
}
for (n = w; n > l; --n) /*switch to insertion sort*/
for (m = n; m < u && xs[m] < xs[m-1]; ++m)
swap(xs, m, m - 1);
}
}
Where wmerge is defined previously.
The full source code can be found here and the detailed explanation can be found here
By the way, this version isn't the fastest merge sort because it needs more swap operations. According to my test, it's faster than the standard version, which allocates extra spaces in every recursion. But it's slower than the optimized version, which doubles the original array in advance and uses it for further merging.
Including its "big result", this paper describes a couple of variants of in-place merge sort (PDF):

In-place sorting with fewer moves
Jyrki Katajainen, Tomi A. Pasanen
It is shown that an array of n
elements can be sorted using O(1)
extra space, O(n log n / log log n)
element moves, and n log2n + O(n log
log n) comparisons. This is the first
in-place sorting algorithm requiring
o(n log n) moves in the worst case
while guaranteeing O(n log n)
comparisons, but due to the constant
factors involved the algorithm is
predominantly of theoretical interest.
I think this is relevant too. I have a printout of it lying around, passed on to me by a colleague, but I haven't read it. It seems to cover basic theory, but I'm not familiar enough with the topic to judge how comprehensively:

Optimal Stable Merging
Antonios Symvonis
This paper shows how to stably merge
two sequences A and B of sizes m and
n, m ≤ n, respectively, with O(m+n)
assignments, O(mlog(n/m+1))
comparisons and using only a constant
amount of additional space. This
result matches all known lower bounds...
It really isn't easy or efficient, and I suggest you don't do it unless you really have to (and you probably don't have to unless this is homework since the applications of inplace merging are mostly theoretical). Can't you use quicksort instead? Quicksort will be faster anyway with a few simpler optimizations and its extra memory is O(log N).
Anyway, if you must do it then you must. Here's what I found: one and two. I'm not familiar with the inplace merge sort, but it seems like the basic idea is to use rotations to facilitate merging two arrays without using extra memory.
Note that this is slower even than the classic merge sort that's not inplace.
The critical step is getting the merge itself to be in-place. It's not as difficult as those sources make out, but you lose something when you try.
Looking at one step of the merge:
[...list-sorted...|x...list-A...|y...list-B...]
We know that the sorted sequence is less than everything else, that x is less than everything else in A, and that y is less than everything else in B. In the case where x is less than or equal to y, you just move your pointer to the start of A on one. In the case where y is less than x, you've got to shuffle y past the whole of A to sorted. That last step is what makes this expensive (except in degenerate cases).
It's generally cheaper (especially when the arrays only actually contain single words per element, e.g., a pointer to a string or structure) to trade off some space for time and have a separate temporary array that you sort back and forth between.

This answer has a code example, which implements the algorithm described in the paper Practical In-Place Merging by Bing-Chao Huang and Michael A. Langston. I have to admit that I do not understand the details, but the given complexity of the merge step is O(n).
From a practical perspective, there is evidence that pure in-place implementations are not performing better in real world scenarios. For example, the C++ standard defines std::inplace_merge, which is as the name implies an in-place merge operation.
Assuming that C++ libraries are typically very well optimized, it is interesting to see how it is implemented:
1) libstdc++ (part of the GCC code base): std::inplace_merge
The implementation delegates to __inplace_merge, which dodges the problem by trying to allocate a temporary buffer:
typedef _Temporary_buffer<_BidirectionalIterator, _ValueType> _TmpBuf;
_TmpBuf __buf(__first, __len1 + __len2);
if (__buf.begin() == 0)
std::__merge_without_buffer
(__first, __middle, __last, __len1, __len2, __comp);
else
std::__merge_adaptive
(__first, __middle, __last, __len1, __len2, __buf.begin(),
_DistanceType(__buf.size()), __comp);
Otherwise, it falls back to an implementation (__merge_without_buffer), which requires no extra memory, but no longer runs in O(n) time.
2) libc++ (part of the Clang code base): std::inplace_merge
Looks similar. It delegates to a function, which also tries to allocate a buffer. Depending on whether it got enough elements, it will choose the implementation. The constant-memory fallback function is called __buffered_inplace_merge.
Maybe even the fallback is still O(n) time, but the point is that they do not use the implementation if temporary memory is available.
Note that the C++ standard explicitly gives implementations the freedom to choose this approach by lowering the required complexity from O(n) to O(N log N):
Complexity:
Exactly N-1 comparisons if enough additional memory is available. If the memory is insufficient, O(N log N) comparisons.
Of course, this cannot be taken as a proof that constant space in-place merges in O(n) time should never be used. On the other hand, if it would be faster, the optimized C++ libraries would probably switch to that type of implementation.
This is my C version:
void mergesort(int *a, int len) {
int temp, listsize, xsize;
for (listsize = 1; listsize <= len; listsize*=2) {
for (int i = 0, j = listsize; (j+listsize) <= len; i += (listsize*2), j += (listsize*2)) {
merge(& a[i], listsize, listsize);
}
}
listsize /= 2;
xsize = len % listsize;
if (xsize > 1)
mergesort(& a[len-xsize], xsize);
merge(a, listsize, xsize);
}
void merge(int *a, int sizei, int sizej) {
int temp;
int ii = 0;
int ji = sizei;
int flength = sizei+sizej;
for (int f = 0; f < (flength-1); f++) {
if (sizei == 0 || sizej == 0)
break;
if (a[ii] < a[ji]) {
ii++;
sizei--;
}
else {
temp = a[ji];
for (int z = (ji-1); z >= ii; z--)
a[z+1] = a[z];
ii++;
a[f] = temp;
ji++;
sizej--;
}
}
}
I know I'm late to the game, but here's a solution I wrote yesterday. I also posted this elsewhere, but this appears to be the most popular merge-in-place thread on SO. I've also not seen this algorithm posted anywhere else, so hopefully this helps some people.
This algorithm is in its most simple form so that it can be understood. It can be significantly tweaked for extra speed. Average time complexity is: O(n.log₂n) for the stable in-place array merge, and O(n.(log₂n)²) for the overall sort.

Leveraging C++ std::inplace_merge, in-place merge sort can be implemented as follows:
template< class _Type >
inline void merge_sort_inplace(_Type* src, size_t l, size_t r)
{
if (r <= l) return;
size_t m = l + ( r - l ) / 2; // computes the average without overflow
merge_sort_inplace(src, l, m);
merge_sort_inplace(src, m + 1, r);
std::inplace_merge(src + l, src + m + 1, src + r + 1);
}
More sorting algorithms, including parallel implementations, are available in https://github.com/DragonSpit/ParallelAlgorithms repo, which is open source and free.
I just tried in place merge algorithm for merge sort in JAVA by using the insertion sort algorithm, using following steps.
1) Two sorted arrays are available.
2) Compare the first values of each array; and place the smallest value into the first array.
3) Place the larger value into the second array by using insertion sort (traverse from left to right).
4) Then again compare the second value of first array and first value of second array, and do the same. But when swapping happens there is some clue on skip comparing the further items, but just swapping required.
I have made some optimization here; to keep lesser comparisons in insertion sort. The only drawback i found with this solutions is it needs larger swapping of array elements in the second array.
e.g)
First___Array : 3, 7, 8, 9
Second Array : 1, 2, 4, 5
Then 7, 8, 9 makes the second array to swap(move left by one) all its elements by one each time to place himself in the last.
So the assumption here is swapping items is negligible compare to comparing of two items.
