Multi-agent contracts
We study a natural combinatorial single-principal multi-agent contract design problem, in
which a principal motivates a team of agents to exert effort toward a given task. At the heart …

An o (log log m) prophet inequality for subadditive combinatorial auctions
We survey the main results from [Dütting, Kesselheim, and Lucier 2020]: 1 a simple posted-
price mechanism for subadditive combinatorial auctions with m items that achieves an O (log …

Optimal item pricing in online combinatorial auctions
We consider a fundamental pricing problem in combinatorial auctions. We are given a set of
indivisible items and a set of buyers with randomly drawn monotone valuations over subsets …

Improved truthful mechanisms for combinatorial auctions with submodular bidders
A longstanding open problem in Algorithmic Mechanism Design is to design computationally-
efficient truthful mechanisms for (approximately) maximizing welfare in combinatorial …

Efficient two-sided markets with limited information
A celebrated impossibility result by Myerson and Satterthwaite (1983) shows that any truthful
mechanism for two-sided markets that maximizes social welfare must run a deficit, resulting …

Improved maximin guarantees for subadditive and fractionally subadditive fair allocation problem
M Seddighin, S Seddighin - Artificial Intelligence, 2024 - Elsevier
In this work, we study the maximin share fairness notion (MMS) for allocation of indivisible
goods in the subadditive and fractionally subadditive settings. While previous work refutes …
