Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Mergesort is one of the fastest sorting algorithm, since it requires only 0(n log n) of computing time. Mergesort, however, requires an array of size n as working area, when executed as an internal sort. In the present paper, we propose an algorithm which is a modified version of mergesort. The space complexity of the proposed alogorithm is only 0(1). The time complexity is 0(n log^2 n), which is worse than the existing merge sort and is the result of the tradeoffs between time and space complexities.
