[PDF][PDF] Algorithmic mechanism design

N Nisan, A Ronen - Proceedings of the thirty-first annual ACM …, 1999 - dl.acm.org
We consider algorithmic problems in a distributed setting where the participants annot be
assumed to follow the algorithm but rather their own self-interest. As such pxticipants, termed …

Budget feasible mechanisms

Y Singer - 2010 IEEE 51st Annual Symposium on foundations …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study a novel class of mechanism design problems in which the outcomes are
constrained by the payments. This basic class of mechanism design problems captures …

Mechanism design with predictions

C Xu, P Lu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2205.11313, 2022 - arxiv.org
Improving algorithms via predictions is a very active research topic in recent years. This
paper initiates the systematic study of mechanism design in this model. In a number of well …

In their seminal paper that initiated the field of algorithmic mechanism design,\citet {NR99}
studied the problem of designing strategyproof mechanisms for scheduling jobs on …

Understanding incentives: Mechanism design becomes algorithm design

Y Cai, C Daskalakis… - 2013 IEEE 54th Annual …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We provide a computationally efficient black-box reduction from mechanism design to
algorithm design in very general settings. Specifically, we give an approximation-preserving …

Bayesian algorithmic mechanism design

S Chawla, B Sivan - ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2014 - dl.acm.org
This article surveys recent work with an algorithmic flavor in Bayesian mechanism design.
Bayesian mechanism design involves optimization in economic settings where the designer …

Mechanism design for machine scheduling problems: Classification and literature overview

D Kress, S Meiswinkel, E Pesch - OR Spectrum, 2018 - Springer
This paper provides a literature overview on (direct revelation) algorithmic mechanism
design in the context of machine scheduling problems. Here, one takes a game-theoretic …

A truthful mechanism for value-based scheduling in cloud computing

N Jain, I Menache, J Naor, J Yaniv - Theory of Computing Systems, 2014 - Springer
We introduce a novel pricing and resource allocation approach for batch jobs on cloud
systems. In our economic model, users submit jobs with a value function that specifies …

Bernoulli factories and black-box reductions in mechanism design

S Dughmi, J Hartline, RD Kleinberg… - Journal of the ACM …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
We provide a polynomial time reduction from Bayesian incentive compatible mechanism
design to Bayesian algorithm design for welfare maximization problems. Unlike prior results …

Monotonicity and implementability

I Ashlagi, M Braverman, A Hassidim… - Econometrica, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Consider an environment with a finite number of alternatives, and agents with private values
and quasilinear utility functions. A domain of valuation functions for an agent is a …
