"textContent": "**Authors:** Ron Kupfer\n\nWe extend the Ting--Yao randomized maximum-finding algorithm [TY94] to inputs that need not be pairwise distinct: each parity test $P(i,B)=\\prod_{a\\in B}(x_i-x_a):0$ on $B\\subseteq[n]\\setminus\\\\{i\\\\}$ is simulated by $O(\\log |B|)$ ordinary polynomial tests, raising depth from $O((\\log n)^2)$ to $O((\\log n)^3)$ while preserving the $O(n^{-c})$ failure probability for every fixed $c>0$.",
