Approximation algorithms and online mechanisms for item pricing
We present approximation and online algorithms for a number of problems of pricing items for sale so as to maximize seller’s revenue in an unlimited supply setting. Our first r...

Dynamic and Non-uniform Pricing Strategies for Revenue Maximization
We consider the Item Pricing problem for revenue maximization in the limited supply setting, where a single seller with n items caters to m buyers with unknown subadditive valuati...

Near-Optimal Pricing in Near-Linear Time
We present efficient approximation algorithms for a number of problems that call for computing the prices that maximize the revenue of the seller on a set of items. Algorithms for ...

Approximation Schemes for Sequential Posted Pricing in Multi-unit Auctions
We design algorithms for computing approximately revenue-maximizing sequential postedpricing mechanisms (SPM) in K-unit auctions, in a standard Bayesian model. A seller has K copi...

Algorithmic Pricing via Virtual Valuations
Algorithmic pricing is the computational problem that sellers (e.g., in supermarkets) face when trying to set prices for their items to maximize their profit in the presence of a ...
