Persiansort: an alternative to mergesort inspired by persian rug

Abstract

This paper introduces persiansort, new stable sorting algorithm inspired by Persian rug. Persiansort does not have the weaknesses of mergesort under scenarios involving nearly sorted and partially sorted data, also utilizing less auxiliary memory than mergesort and take advantage of runs. Initial experimental showed, this method is flexible, powerful and works better than mergesort in almost all types of data. Persiansort offers several advantages over merge methods make it a potential replacement.
