On the Competitive Ratio of the Random Sampling Auction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We give a simple analysis of the competitive ratio of the random sampling auction from [10]. The random sampling auction was first shown to be worst-case competitive in [9] (with a bound of 7600 on its competitive ratio); our analysis improves the bound to 15.
