Item pricing for revenue maximization
We consider the problem of pricing n items to maximize revenue when faced with a series of
unknown buyers with complex preferences, and show that a simple pricing scheme …

Pricing on paths: A ptas for the highway problem
F Grandoni, T Rothvoß - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2016 - SIAM
In the highway problem, we are given an n-edge path graph (the highway), and a set of
paths (the drivers), each one with its own budget. For a given assignment of edge weights …

Envy-free pricing in multi-item markets
In this paper, we study the revenue maximization envy-free pricing in multi-item markets:
there are m items and n potential buyers where each buyer is interested in acquiring one …
