Let there be a list of many Sets named (S)
Perform a pass through all elements of S, to determine the range (LOW .. HIGH).
Create an array of pointer to Set, of dimensions (LOW, HIGH), named (M).
do
Init all elements of M to NULL.
Iterate though S, processing them one Set at a time, named (Si).
Permutate all ordered pairs in Si. (P1, P2) where P1 <= P2.
For each pair examine M(P1, P2)
if M(P1, P2) is NULL
Continue with the next pair.
otherwise
Merge Si, into the Set pointed to by, M(P1, P2).
Remove Si from S, as it has been merged.
Move on to processing Set S(i + 1)
If Si was not merged,
Permutate again through Si
For each pair, make M(P1, P2) point to Si.
while At least one set was merged during the pass.
