Generalizing preference elicitation in combinatorial auctions
Combinatorial auctions where agents can bid on bundles of items are desirable because they allow the agents to express complementarity and substitutability between the items. Howe...

Using a Lagrangian Heuristic for a Combinatorial Auction Problem
In this paper, a combinatorial auction problem is modeled as a NP-complete set packing problem and a Lagrangian relaxation based heuristic algorithm is proposed. Extensive experim...

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...

BIDFLOW: a New Graph-Based Bidding Language for Combinatorial Auctions
In this paper we introduce a new graph based bidding language for combinatorial auctions. In our language, each bidder submits to the arbitrator a generalized flow network (netbid...

On the Limitations of Greedy Mechanism Design for Truthful Combinatorial Auctions
We study the combinatorial auction (CA) problem, in which m objects are sold to rational agents and the goal is to maximize social welfare. Of particular interest is the special ca...
