Implementation in Advised Strategies: Welfare Guarantees from Posted-Price Mechanisms When Demand Queries Are NP-Hard [PDF]
, 2020 State-of-the-art posted-price mechanisms for submodular bidders with $m$ items achieve approximation guarantees of $O((\log \log m)^3)$ [Assadi and Singla, 2019]. Their truthfulness, however, requires bidders to compute an NP-hard demand-query.

Food Bioengineering, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 73-87, March 2026.ABSTRACT Value‐added utilization of resources can be developed from by‐products of agricultural processing. In this study, a neutral polysaccharide (BSLP‐1, 19,799 Da) was obtained from bamboo shoot processing liquid. Structurally, BSLP‐1 has a backbone of →4)‐α‐D‐Glcp‐(1→ and →4,6)‐α‐D‐Glcp‐(1→, with side chains of →5)‐α‐L‐Araf‐(1→ and α‐D‐Glcp‐(1→6 ...
