Multi-Unit Auctions: Beyond Roberts
We exhibit incentive compatible multi-unit auctions that are not affine maximizers (i.e. are not of the VCG family) and yet approximate the social welfare to within a factor of 1 ...

Approximations in Distributed Optimization
Abstract. We present a parameterized approximation scheme for distributed combinatorial optimization problems based on dynamic programming. The algorithm is a utility propagation m...

An Efficient Upper Approximation for Conditional Preference
The fundamental operation of dominance testing, i.e., determining if one alternative is preferred to another, is in general very hard for methods of reasoning with qualitative cond...

Sample Average Approximation Methods for a Class of Stochastic Variational inequality Problems
In this paper we apply the well known sample average approximation (SAA) method to solve a class of stochastic variational inequality problems (SVIPs). We investigate the existenc...

Computing approximate bayes-nash equilibria in tree-games of incomplete information
We provide efficient algorithms for finding approximate BayesNash equilibria (BNE) in graphical, specifically tree, games of incomplete information. In such games an agent’s p...
