Rate of Price Discovery in Iterative Combinatorial Auctions
, 2016 We study a class of iterative combinatorial auctions which can be viewed as subgradient descent methods for the problem of pricing bundles to balance supply and demand. We provide concrete convergence rates for auctions in this class, bounding the number
