Mechanism design for facility location problems: a survey

H Chan, A Filos-Ratsikas, B Li, M Li, C Wang - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
The study of approximate mechanism design for facility location problems has been in the
center of research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and economics for the last …

Approximate mechanism design without money

AD Procaccia, M Tennenholtz - ACM Transactions on Economics and …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
The literature on algorithmic mechanism design is mostly concerned with game-theoretic
versions of optimization problems to which standard economic money-based mechanisms …

On the power of deterministic mechanisms for facility location games

D Fotakis, C Tzamos - ACM Transactions on Economics and …, 2014 - dl.acm.org
We consider K-Facility Location games, where n strategic agents report their locations in a
metric space and a mechanism maps them to K facilities. The agents seek to minimize their …

Approximately optimal mechanism design via differential privacy

K Nissim, R Smorodinsky, M Tennenholtz - Proceedings of the 3rd …, 2012 - dl.acm.org
We study the implementation challenge in an abstract interdependent values model and an
arbitrary objective function. We design a generic mechanism that allows for approximate …

Strategyproof facility location and the least squares objective

M Feldman, Y Wilf - Proceedings of the fourteenth ACM conference on …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
We consider the problem of locating a public facility on a tree, where a set of n strategic
agents report their locations and a mechanism determines, either deterministically or …

[PDF][PDF] Facility location games with dual preference

S Zou, M Li - Proceedings of the 2015 international conference on …, 2015 - ifaamas.org
In this paper, we focus on the facility location games with the property of dual preference.
Dual preference property indicates that both two preferences of agents, staying close to and …

Approximate mechanism design for distributed facility location

A Filos-Ratsikas, AA Voudouris - … September 21–24, 2021, Proceedings 14, 2021 - Springer
We consider a single-facility location problem, where agents are positioned on the real line
and are partitioned into multiple disjoint districts. The goal is to choose a location (where a …

Facility location with double-peaked preferences

A Filos-Ratsikas, M Li, J Zhang, Q Zhang - Autonomous Agents and Multi …, 2017 - Springer
We study the problem of locating a single facility on a real line based on the reports of self-
interested agents, when agents have double-peaked preferences, with the peaks being on …

Heterogeneous facility location games

E Anastasiadis, A Deligkas - arxiv preprint arxiv:2005.03095, 2020 - arxiv.org
We study heterogeneous $ k $-facility location games. In this model there are $ k $ facilities
where each facility serves a different purpose. Thus, the preferences of the agents over the …

Strategyproof facility location for concave cost functions

D Fotakis, C Tzamos - Proceedings of the fourteenth ACM conference …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
We consider k-Facility Location games, where n strategic agents report their locations on the
real line, and a mechanism maps them to k facilities. Each agent seeks to minimize his …
