It is known that the First-Fit algorithm for partitioning a poset P into chains uses relatively few chains when P does not have two incomparable chains each of size k. In particular, if P has width w, then Bosek, Krawczyk, and Szczypka [SIAM J. Discrete Math., 23 (2010), pp. 1992-1999], proved an upper bound of ckw(2) on the number of chains used by First-Fit for some constant c, while Joret and Milans [Order, 28 (2011), pp. 455-464] gave one of ck(2)w. In this paper we prove an upper bound of the form ckw. This is most possible up to the value of c. |
