//  - "Fast Stable In-Place Sorting with O(n) Data Moves" J.I. Munro and

/*
Complexity of Stable Sorting


Complexity of block swapping rotation

Each Swap puts one new element into its correct, final position.
Elements which reach their final position are no longer moved.
Thus block swapping rotation needs |u|+|v| calls to Swaps.
This is best possible as each element might need a move.

Pay attention when comparing to other optimal algorithms which
typically count the number of assignments instead of swaps:
E.g. the optimal algorithm of Dudzinski and Dydek for in-place
rotations uses O(u + v + gcd(u,v)) assignments which is
better than our O(3 * (u+v)) as gcd(u,v) <= u.


Stable sorting by SymMerge and BlockSwap rotations

SymMerg complexity for same size input M = N:
Calls to Less:  O(M*log(N/M+1)) = O(N*log(2)) = O(N)
Calls to Swap:  O((M+N)*log(M)) = O(2*N*log(N)) = O(N*log(N))

(The following argument does not fuzz over a missing -1 or
other stuff which does not impact the final result).

Let n = data.Len(). Assume n = 2^k.

Plain merge sort performs log(n) = k iterations.
On iteration i the algorithm merges 2^(k-i) blocks, each of size 2^i.

Thus iteration i of merge sort performs:
Calls to Less  O(2^(k-i) * 2^i) = O(2^k) = O(2^log(n)) = O(n)
Calls to Swap  O(2^(k-i) * 2^i * log(2^i)) = O(2^k * i) = O(n*i)

In total k = log(n) iterations are performed; so in total:
Calls to Less O(log(n) * n)
Calls to Swap O(n + 2*n + 3*n + ... + (k-1)*n + k*n)
   = O((k/2) * k * n) = O(n * k^2) = O(n * log^2(n))


Above results should generalize to arbitrary n = 2^k + p
and should not be influenced by the initial insertion sort phase:
Insertion sort is O(n^2) on Swap and Less, thus O(bs^2) per block of
size bs at n/bs blocks:  O(bs*n) Swaps and Less during insertion sort.
Merge sort iterations start at i = log(bs). With t = log(bs) constant:
Calls to Less O((log(n)-t) * n + bs*n) = O(log(n)*n + (bs-t)*n)
   = O(n * log(n))
Calls to Swap O(n * log^2(n) - (t^2+t)/2*n) = O(n * log^2(n))
