TLDR
The algorithm allows combinatorial auctions to scale up to significantly larger numbers of items and bids than prior approaches to optimal winner determination by capitalizing on the fact that the space of bids is sparsely populated in practice.

Improved Algorithms for Optimal Winner Determination in Combinatorial Auctions and Generalizations

TL;DR: A more sophisticated search algorithm for optimal (and anytime) winner determination is presented, including structural improvements that reduce search tree size, faster data structures, and optimizations at search nodes based on driving toward, identifying and solving tractable special cases.
