We consider the question of lookahead in the list update problem: What improvement can be achieved in terms of competitiveness if an on-line algorithm sees not only the present request to be served but also some future requests? We introduce two different models of lookahead and study the list update problem using these models. In addition to lower bounds we present a number of competitive on-line algorithms with lookahead.
