Comparator networks for constructing binary heaps of size n are presented which have size View the MathML source and depth View the MathML source.

Abstract

Comparator networks for constructing binary heaps of size n are presented which have size View the MathML source and depth View the MathML source. A lower bound of View the MathML source for the size of any heap construction network is also proven, implying that the networks presented are within a constant factor of optimal. We give a tight relation between the leading constants in the size of selection networks and in the size of heap construction networks.
