Each agent can supply at\nite m at an incurred cost of c_i to themself\, and the buyer wants to\noptimiz e over their own valuation for the set of items bought. The\ncost c_i is p rivate information that the buyer doesn't have access to.\nThe goal is to design a mechanism that is truthful\, in the sense that\nthe sellers do no t have incentive to deviate from reporting their true\ncosts\, and budget feasible\, in the sense that the total payments made\nto the sellers is wi thin some budget B.\n DTSTAMP:20250516T220112Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
