This study explores heterogeneous two-facility location mixed mechanisms, aiming to develop an approach for positioning two facilities that ensures agent strategyproofness while minimizing social costs. We introduce a mixed mechanism that achieves an approximation ratio of \( \frac{25}{8} \) , demonstrating a significant improvement over the latest deterministic mechanism, which has an approximation ratio of \( \frac{17}{4} \) .

摘要

This study explores heterogeneous two-facility location mixed mechanisms, aiming to develop an approach for positioning two facilities that ensures agent strategyproofness while minimizing social costs. We introduce a mixed mechanism that achieves an approximation ratio of \( \frac{25}{8} \) , demonstrating a significant improvement over the latest deterministic mechanism, which has an approximation ratio of \( \frac{17}{4} \) .
