An Approximation Algorithm for Multi-Unit Auctions : Numerical and Subject Experiments

In multi-unit auctions for a single item, the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism (VCG) attains allocative efficiency but suffers from its computational complexity. Takahashi and Shigeno thus proposed a greedy based approximation algorithm (GBA). In a subject experiment there was truly a difference in e...
