Using Nash Implementation to Achieve Better Frugality Ratios

چکیده
Most of the recent works on algorithmic mechanism design exploit the solution concept of dominant strategy equilibria. Such work designs a proper payment scheme so that selfish agents maximize their utility by truthfully revealing their types. It has been pointed out that these truthful mechanisms, the famous among them being the VCG mechanisms, often incur high payments and fruglity ratios. In this work, we exploit the solution concept of Nash implementation to overcome this problem. Our mechanisms induce a set of Nash equilibria so that selfish agents have incentive to act based on a Nash equilibrium. We prove that our mechanisms enjoy substantial advantages over the truthful mechanisms in terms of payment and frugality.

Commodity Auctions and Frugality Ratios
We study set-system auctions whereby a single buyer wants to purchase Q items of some commodity. There are multiple sellers, each of whom has some known number of items, and a private cost for supplying those items. Thus a “feasible set” of sellers (a set that is able to comprise the winning bidders) is any set of sellers whose total quantity sums to at least Q. We show that, even in a limited ...
متن کاملWhen data contributors meet multiple crowdsourcers: Bilateral competition in mobile crowdsourcing
With the increasingly wide use of sensor-embedded smartphones, we envision that there will be many crowdsourcers to acquire sensing data from a large population of smartphone contributors. They form a bilateral competition market, where crowdsourcers compete for the limited sensing service and smartphone contributors compete for the limited budget from crowdsourcers. Each crowdsourcer has to se...
متن کاملشبیهسازی سیلاب با استفاده از مدلهای آبنمود واحد لحظهای تبدیل لاپلاس و H2U-Nash (مطالعه موردی: حوزه آبخیز جونقان)
Achievement to sustainable development is dependent upon integrated watershed management. In other hand without detailed analysis of the rainfall - runoff observations, high risk of flood predictions will be translated into flood-induced capital losses. Considering the fact that not always hydrometric data are available, using synthetic unit hydrograph is one of the most popular methods of floo...
متن کاملEvaluation of Intelligent Models in Water Quality Simulation of the Babolrood and Sefidrood Rivers, Iran
The amount of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is an important factor in determining the water quality of rivers. The purposes of this paper was to investigate the efficiency of four intelligent models including, SVM-IWO, SVM-PSO, SVM-ABC, LS-SVM and Bayesian Neural Network, in predicting water quality of Babolrood and Sefidrood rivers, north of Iran. To achieve this aim, unpublished measured mont...
