contents We consider the List Update problem where the cost of each swap is assumed to be 1. This is in contrast to the ``standard'' model, in which an algorithm is allowed to swap the requested item with previous items for free. We construct an online algorithm Full-Or-Partial-Move (FPM), whose competitive ratio is at most $3.3904$, improving over the previous best known bound of $4$.
