The smoothsortsorting algorithm is a variation of heapsort developed by Edsger Dijkstra in 1981. The advantage of smoothsort is that it works in O(n) time if the input is (almost) sorted. Due to the extra complexity it is rarely used. In computer science and mathematics, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order. ... Heapsort is one of the best general-purpose sort algorithms, a comparison sort and part of the selection sort family. ... Portrait of Edsger Dijkstra (courtesy Brian Randell) Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (Rotterdam, May 11, 1930 – Nuenen, August 6, 2002) was a Dutch computer scientist. ... 1981 (MCMLXXXI) is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The smoothsort sorting algorithm is a variation of heapsort developed by Edsger Dijkstra in 1981.
The advantage of smoothsort is that it works in O(n) time if the input is (almost) sorted.
The structure of this algorithm, hereinafter referred to simply as smoothsort, is similar to that of column sort; both algorithms make progress by ensuring that under a certain....
