Tight Pounds on Oblivious Chaining

The chaining problem is deened as follows. = maxfj j a j = 1; j < ig. (Deene maxfg = 0) The chaining problem appears as a subproblem in many contexts. There are algorithms known that solve the chaining problem on CRCW PRAMs in O((n)) time, where (n) is the inverse of Ackerman's function, and is a very slowly growing function. We study a class of algorithms (called oblivious algorithms) for this...
