Quantum sealed-bid auction (QSA) is a special form of transaction with significant applications in the economic and financial fields. Using unique set locally indistinguishable orthogonal product (LIOP) states, we propose new QSA protocol this paper. In protocol, bid message encoded as quantum sequence LIOP different particles states are transmitted separately. Even though an attacker obtains p...

In this paper we consider the optimal design of English auctions with discrete bid levels. Such auctions are widely used in online Internet settings and our aim is to automate their configuration in order that they generate the maximum revenue for the auctioneer. Specifically, we address two complimentary problems: (i) that of determining the optimal reserve price and bid increment in these auc...

Many auctions involve selling several distinct items simultaneously, where bidders can bid on the whole or any part of the lot. Such auctions are referred to as combinatorial auctions. Examples of such auctions include truck delivery routes, furniture, and FCC spectrum. Determining winners in such auctions is an NP-hard problem and significant research is being conducted in this area. However, ...
