通过对偶实现次可加买方的简单机制

Simple Mechanisms for Subadditive Buyers via Duality

Yang Cai, Mingfei Zhao

摘要:

我们提供了简单的和近似的收入最优的机制,在多项目多投标人设置。我们统一和改进了所有以前的结果,以及推广的结果,以更广泛的情况。特别是,我们证明了以下两个简单的,确定性和主导策略激励兼容机制,顺序公布价格机制或匿名顺序公布价格机制与入场费,实现了一个恒定的比例的最优收益之间的所有随机,贝叶斯激励兼容机制,当买家的估值是XOS在独立的项目。如果买家的估价是独立物品的次加性,则近似因子退化为$O(\log m)$,其中$m$是物品的数量。我们得到我们的结果,首先扩展的蔡Devanur-温伯格对偶框架,以获得一个有效的基准的最优收益subadditive投标人,然后分析这个上限与新的技术。

英文摘要:

We provide simple and approximately revenue-optimal mechanisms in the multi-item multi-bidder settings. We unify and improve all previous results, as well as generalize the results to broader cases. In particular, we prove that the better of the following two simple, deterministic and Dominant Strategy Incentive Compatible mechanisms, a sequential posted price mechanism or an anonymous sequential posted price mechanism with entry fee, achieves a constant fraction of the optimal revenue among all randomized, Bayesian Incentive Compatible mechanisms, when buyers' valuations are XOS over independent items. If the buyers' valuations are subadditive over independent items, the approximation factor degrades to $O(\log m)$, where $m$ is the number of items. We obtain our results by first extending the Cai-Devanur-Weinberg duality framework to derive an effective benchmark of the optimal revenue for subadditive bidders, and then analyzing this upper bound with new techniques.
