Pick-a-bundle: a novel bundling strategy for selling multiple items within online auctions
In this paper, we consider the design of an agent that is able to autonomously make optimal bundling decisions when selling multiple heterogeneous items within existing online auc...

A qualitative vickrey auction
Restricting the preferences of the agents by assuming that their utility functions linearly depend on a payment allows for the positive results of the Vickrey auction and the Vick...

Reducing truth-telling online mechanisms to online optimization
We describe a general technique for converting an online algorithm B to a truthtelling mechanism. We require that the original online competitive algorithm has certain "nicen...

Approximation Algorithms for Non-single-minded Profit-Maximization Problems with Limited Supply
We consider profit-maximization problems for combinatorial auctions with non-single minded valuation functions and limited supply. We obtain fairly general results that relate the ...

Markov Approximation for Combinatorial Network Optimization
—Many important network design problems can be formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem. A large number of such problems, however, cannot readily be tackled by distribu...
