Coalition stability is a major requirement in coalition formation. One important problem to achieve stability in n-person game theories is the assumption that the preference of each buyer is publicly known. The coalition is said to be stable if there are no objection by any subset of buyers according to their publicly known preferences. However, such assumption is often unrealistic in typical r...
متن کاملForming Buyer Coalition with Bundles of Items by Ant Colony Optimization
The study of the buyer coalition has been reviewed by researchers for decades. However, there are few schemes applying ant colony optimization (ACO) for forming buyer coalition. In this paper, the approach called the Ant Colony for Buyer Coalition (ACBC) algorithm is proposed to form the buyer coalition with bundles of items. The main endeavor of the algorithm is to partition the whole group of...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Multi-Attribute Continuous Double Auction Mechanisms
Auctions have been as a competitive method of buying and selling valuable or rare items for a long time. Single-sided auctions in which participants negotiate on a single attribute (e.g. price) are very popular. Double auctions and negotiation on multiple attributes create more advantages compared to single-sided and single-attribute auctions. Nonetheless, this adds the complexity of the auctio...
متن کاملProcurement Auction with Supplier Coalitions: Validity Requirements and Mechanism Design
We study the formation of supplier coalitions in the context of a buyer-centric procurement market. Considered under a second-price descending seal-bid auction, we propose a two-stage auction mechanism that allows suppliers to form coalitions with one another. Building on the foundations of core games and bidding-rings, we explore the idea of “managed collusion” which provides a means to enhanc...
