We give a variation of the pairing heaps for which the time bounds for all the operations match the lower bound proved by Fredman for a family of similar self-adjusting heaps. Namely, our heap structure requires $O(1)$ for insert and find-min, $O(\log{n})$ for delete-min, and $O(\log\log{n})$ for decrease-key and meld.
[This is a dry-run for the talk I will give at SODA 09.]
