Physical Bucket Sort with Two Kinds of Items

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Bucket sort is one of the most famous sorting algorithms, and it runs in time $O(k+n)$, where $k$ is the number of buckets and $n$ is the number of items.
In this framework, we need a unit time within which to place an item into a bucket.
Here, we present a new framework of sorting, emph{physical bucket sort}, where we need time to move from bucket to bucket, we must stand by the bucket,
and to move from bucket $i$ to bucket $j$, we need $|i-j|$ units of time
in addition to the placing time.
It is permitted to postpone an item to the bottom of the pile of items,
but it also needs unit time.
This is a simple formulation that enables us to sort a pile of reports according to their score.

A trivial upper bound of the running time of physical bucket sort is $O(kn)$.
It is known that there is an $O(n sqrt{k})$-time algorithm,
and it is asymptotically optimal for any non-fixed input.
In this talk, we offer the lower bound when the physical bucket sort has only two kinds of items and
the input is fixed and known.
In this case, we show the lower bound is $1.5n$ for some inputs.
