Merge-Sort Algorithm implementation in JAVA

Merge-Sort Function

void MergeSort(int low, int high)
   // a[low : high] is a global array to be sorted.
   // Small(P) is true if there is only one element to
   // sort. In this case the list is already sorted.
   {
       if (low < high) { // If there are more than one element
              // Divide P into subproblems.
              // Find where to split the set.
              int mid = (low + high)/2;
              // Solve the subproblems.
              MergeSort(low, mid);
              MergeSort(mid + 1, high);
              // Combine the solutions.
              Merge(low, mid, high);
       }
   }

   void Merge(int low, int mid, int high)
   // a[low:high] is a global array containing two sorted
   // subsets in a[low:mid] and in a[mid+1:high]. The goal
   // is to merge these two sets into a single set residing
   // in a[low:high]. b[] is an auxiliary global array.
   {
       int h = low, i = low, j = mid+1, k;
       while ((h <= mid) && (j <= high)) {
          if (a[h] <= a[j]) { b[i] = a[h]; h++; }
          else { b[i] = a[j]; j++; } i++;
       }
       if (h > mid) for (k=j; k<=high; k++) {
                       b[i] = a[k]; i++;
                    }
       else for (k=h; k<=mid; k++) {
               b[i] = a[k]; i++;
            }
       for (k=low; k<=high; k++) a[k] = b[k];
