Introduction of Shell sort, and a match with Insertion Sort.

For an introduction of Insertion sort, see:
• Insertion Sort vs Bubble Sort + Some analysis

Choosing the sequence 9-6-1:
For a list of size 10, the gaps can be any number 1,2,....,9, and the sequence must end with 1.
So each of the gaps 2,3,...,9 can be included in the sequence, or not included. So there's a total of 2^8=256 possible gap sequences. For each we checked the average number of comparisons for all possible 10! permutations.
Here are the 3 best sequences:
9-6-1: 25.512 comparisons
4-1: 25.516 comparisons
6-1: 25.539 comparisons

We could have also checked which has the highest probability of performing less comparisons than insertion sort. Here are the top 3 in this respect:
4-1: prob=0.72
9-4-1: prob=0.704
6-1: prob=0.701
