Abstract
An auction may include a general schema to create incentives for those agents or bidders to bid on items at auction truthfully. The schema may implement any allocation rule, including a monotone allocation rule. The schema may provide for accepting bids from bidders, transforming the bids in a manner appropriate to the item being auctioned, and applying the allocation rule on the transformed bid. The schema may further provide for providing a rebate or payment back to the bidders.
