Abstract: Combinatorial auctions, i.e. auction where bidders can bid on combinations of items, tend to lead to more efficient allocations than traditional auctions in multi-item auctions where the agent's valuations of the items are not additive. However, determining the winners so as to maximize revenue is NP-complete. We present a search algorithm for optimal winner determination.
