### Bucket
![alt text][bucket-image-1]
![alt text][bucket-image-2]
From [Wikipedia][bucket-wiki]: Bucket sort, or bin sort, is a sorting algorithm that works by distributing the elements of an array into a number of buckets. Each bucket is then sorted individually, either using a different sorting algorithm, or by recursively applying the bucket sorting algorithm.
__Properties__
* Worst case performance O(n^2)
* Best case performance O(n+k)
* Average case performance O(n+k)
### Coctail shaker
![alt text][cocktail-shaker-image]
From [Wikipedia][cocktail-shaker-wiki]: Cocktail shaker sort, also known as bidirectional bubble sort, cocktail sort, shaker sort (which can also refer to a variant of selection sort), ripple sort, shuffle sort, or shuttle sort, is a variation of bubble sort that is both a stable sorting algorithm and a comparison sort. The algorithm differs from a bubble sort in that it sorts in both directions on each pass through the list.

* Worst case performance O(n^2)
* Best case performance O(n)
* Average case performance O(n^2)

### Radix
From [Wikipedia][radix-wiki]: In computer science, radix sort is a non-comparative integer sorting algorithm that sorts data with integer keys by grouping keys by the individual digits which share the same significant position and value.

### Topological
From [Wikipedia][topological-wiki]: In the field of computer science, a topological sort or topological ordering of a directed graph is a linear ordering of its vertices such that for every directed edge uv from vertex u to vertex v, u comes before v in the ordering. For instance, the vertices of the graph may represent tasks to be performed, and the edges may represent constraints that one task must be performed before another; in this application, a topological ordering is just a valid sequence for the tasks. A topological ordering is possible if and only if the graph has no directed cycles, that is, if it is a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Any DAG has at least one topological ordering, and algorithms are known for constructing a topological ordering of any DAG in linear time.
