For this setting we prove that a bidder optimal outcome always exists, even when the utility functions are non-linear and non-continuous. We give sufficient conditions under\r\nwhich every mechanism that finds a bidder optimal outcome is incentive compatible. We also give a mechanism that finds a bidder optimal outcome if the conditions for incentive compatibility are satisfied. The running time of this mechanism is exponential in the number of items, but polynomial in the number of bidders.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","day":"25","month":"03","article_processing_charge":"No","date_updated":"2023-02-21T16:28:41Z","title":"Bidder optimal assignments for general utilities","quality_controlled":"1","status":"public","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"earlier_version","id":"11799","status":"public"}]},"oa_version":"None","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_created":"2022-08-17T11:11:04Z","publisher":"Elsevier","scopus_import":"1","citation":{"chicago":"Dütting, Paul, Monika H Henzinger, and Ingmar Weber. “Bidder Optimal Assignments for General Utilities.” <i>Theoretical Computer Science</i>.
