Uniform bound on packed-child width parameter
Packed children have width parameter
uniform width bound for packed-call costs
Statement (paper)
Put and . For all sufficiently large , , , and every packed child with records has rectangular width parameter , where .
In plain English
With and , for all large we have and . Every packed child with records then has rectangular width parameter , where .
Why it's here
This claim turns the size assumptions on , and into a single linear bound on the width parameter of every packed child. Because and , the guard width is far below , so is within a constant factor of . The later cost estimates for packed basis changes use this uniform bound.
Classified routine:
Direct arithmetic bookkeeping: since with , the guard width satisfies , and taking logarithms of the size assumptions on and gives a bound linear in . No new idea is involved.
