We consider the design of strategyproof cost-sharing mechanisms. We give two simple, but extremely versatile, black-box reductions, that in combination reduce the cost-sharing mec...

Given a class of graphs F, we say that a graph G is universal for F, or F-universal, if every H ∈ F is contained in G as a subgraph. The construction of sparse universal graphs ...
