Each agent can supp ly at\nitem at an incurred cost of c_i to themself\, and the buyer wants t o\noptimize over their own valuation for the set of items bought. The\ncos t c_i is private information that the buyer doesn't have access to.\nThe g oal is to design a mechanism that is truthful\, in the sense that\nthe sel lers do not have incentive to deviate from reporting their true\ncosts\, a nd budget feasible\, in the sense that the total payments made\nto the sel lers is within some budget B.\n DTSTAMP:20250521T031555Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
