The longest chain among random points in euclidean space

Abstract

Let n random points be chosen independently from the uniform distribution on the unit k-cube [0, 1]k. Order the points coordinate-wise and let Hk(n) be the cardinality of the largest chain in the resulting partially ordered set. We show that there are constants C1, C2,… such that ck
