*Who:*           Siddharth Prasad, TTIC

*Title:*            Integer Programming and Combinatorial Markets


*Abstract: *  Various marketplaces in the world today, from spectrum
allocation to strategic sourcing and procurement to financial exchanges,
benefit from carefully designed rules to govern the efficient exchange of
items. Mechanism design offers a principled way to design these rules and,
on the computational front, integer programming is a go-to method for
finding desirable market outcomes and prices. In this talk, I will present
some of my work at the convergence of these topics.


In the first part of the talk, I will present a new type of cutting plane
for 0-1 integer programs that delivers strong theoretical and practical
properties. In the second part of the talk, I will discuss a new pricing
structure for core-selecting combinatorial auctions that directly improves
the auction designs that have been used in high-stakes spectrum auctions.

*Research at TTIC Seminar Series*



TTIC is hosting a weekly seminar series presenting the research currently
underway at the Institute. Every week a different TTIC faculty member will
present their research.  The lectures are intended for students seeking
research topics and advisors, and for the general TTIC and University of
Chicago communities interested in hearing what their colleagues are up to.
