An Improved Approximation Scheme for Computing Arrow-Debreu Prices for the Linear Case

چکیده
Recently, Jain, Mahdian and Saberi [5] had given a FPTAS for the problem of computing a market equilibrium in the Arrow-Debreu setting, when the utilities are linear functions. Their running time depended on the size of the numbers representing the utilities and endowments of the buyers. In this paper, we give a strongly polynomial time approximation scheme for this problem. Our algorithm builds upon the main ideas behind the algorithm in [3].

A Simple Approximation Algorithm for Computing Arrow-Debreu Prices
We consider the Arrow-Debreu market with linear utilities in which there is a set G of divisible goods and a set B of buyers. Each buyer starts with an initial endowment of goods. The buyer’s utility function is a linearly separable function of the goods that the buyer purchases. We develop a simple and efficient algorithm for determining an approximate market equilibrium. Our algorithm finds a...
متن کاملAuction Algorithm for Production Models
We show an auction-based algorithm to compute market equilibrium prices in a production model, where consumers purchase items under separable nonlinear utility concave functions which satisfy W.G.S(Weak Gross Substitutes); producers produce items with multiple linear production constraints. Our algorithm differs from previous approaches in that the prices are allowed to both increase and decrea...
متن کاملAn Auction-Based Market Equilibrium Algorithm for a Production Model
We present an auction-based algorithm for computing market equilibrium prices in a production model, in which producers have a single linear production constraint, and consumers have linear utility functions. We provide algorithms for both the Fisher and Arrow-Debreu versions of the problem.
متن کاملContinuity Properties of Equilibria in Some Fisher and Arrow-Debreu Market Models
Following up on the work of Megiddo and Vazirani [10], who determined continuity properties of equilibrium prices and allocations for perhaps the simplest market model, Fisher’s linear case, we do the same for: – Fisher’s model with piecewise-linear, concave utilities – Fisher’s model with spending constraint utilities – Arrow-Debreu’s model with linear utilities – Eisenberg-Gale markets.
متن کاملAn Improved Combinatorial Polynomial Algorithm for the Linear Arrow-Debreu Market
We present an improved combinatorial algorithm for the computation of equilibrium prices in the linear ArrowDebreu model. For a market with n agents and integral utilities bounded by U , the algorithm runs in O(n log(nU)) time. This improves upon the previously best algorithm of Ye by a factor of Ω̃(n). The algorithm refines the algorithm described by Duan and Mehlhorn and improves it by a facto...
