Revenue Failures and Collusion in Combinatorial Auctions and Exchanges with VCG Payments
Abstract. In a combinatorial auction, there are multiple items for sale, and bidders are allowed to place a bid on a bundle of these items rather than just on the individual items....

Greedy Approximation via Duality for Packing, Combinatorial Auctions and Routing
We study simple greedy approximation algorithms for general class of integer packing problems. We provide a novel analysis based on the duality theory of linear programming. This e...

Towards a universal test suite for combinatorial auction algorithms
General combinatorial auctions—auctions in which bidders place unrestricted bids for bundles of goods—are the subject of increasing study. Much of this work has focused on alg...

Solving Combinatorial Auctions Using Stochastic Local Search
Combinatorial auctions (CAs) have emerged as an important model in economics and show promise as a useful tool for tackling resource allocation in AI. Unfortunately, winner determ...

Eliciting Bid Taker Non-price Preferences in (Combinatorial) Auctions
Recent algorithms provide powerful solutions to the problem of determining cost-minimizing (or revenue-maximizing) allocations of items in combinatorial auctions. However, in many...
