A Levelset Algorithm for 3D-Tarski

Data Structures and Algorithms 2025-11-07 v2

Abstract

We present a simple new algorithm for finding a Tarski fixed point of a monotone function F:[N]3[N]3F : [N]^3 \rightarrow [N]^3. Our algorithm runs in O(log2N)O(\log^2 N) time and makes O(log2N)O(\log^2 N) queries to FF, matching the Ω(log2N)\Omega(\log^2 N) query lower bound due to Etessami et al. as well as the existing state-of-the-art algorithm due to Fearnley et al.
