Abstract(in English) We prove that Batcher's odd-even (m, n)-merging networks are exactly optimal for (m, n)=(3,4k+2) and (4,4k+2) for k≧0 in terms of the number of comparators used. For other cases where m≦4, the optimality of Batcher's (m, n)-merging networks has been proved. So we can conclude that Batcher's odd-even merge yields optimal (m, n)-merging networks for every m≦4 and for every n.
