Limited and online supply and the bayesian foundations of prior-free mechanism design
We study auctions for selling a limited supply of a single commodity in the case where the supply is known in advance and the case it is unknown and must be instead allocated in a...

Imperfect randomized algorithms for the optimal control of wireless networks
Abstract— We consider a joint randomized scheduling, congestion control mechanism for general wireless networks. We allow for a set of imperfections in the operation of the rando...

Automated Design of Multistage Mechanisms
Mechanism design is the study of preference aggregation protocols that work well in the face of self-interested agents. We present the first general-purpose techniques for automa...
