Abstract: We give a priority queue that achieves the same amortized bounds as Fibonacci heaps. Namely, find-min requires O(1) worst-case time, insert, meld and decrease-key require O(1) amortized time, and delete-min requires $O(logn)$ amortized time. Our structure is simple and promises an efficient practical behavior when compared to other known Fibonacci-like heaps. The main idea behind our construction is to propagate rank updates instead of performing cascaded cuts following a decrease-key operation, allowing for a relaxed structure.
