Pseudocode No The paper describes algorithmic steps in prose (e.g., 'The mechanism M for k-DCR works as follows. 1. The allocation rule X: select the solution xℓwith the probability λℓ. 2. The payment rule P: for each edge e, the payment for e is...'), but it does not present any formal pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any concrete access information (e.g., a link or explicit statement of code release) for the source code of the described methodology.
Open Datasets No This is a theoretical paper focused on algorithm design and analysis; it does not involve the use of datasets for training in an empirical machine learning sense. Therefore, there is no mention of publicly available datasets or access information for them.
Dataset Splits No This is a theoretical paper focused on algorithm design and analysis, not empirical experiments. Therefore, there is no discussion of training/validation/test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No This is a theoretical paper discussing mechanism design and approximation algorithms. It does not report on experimental setups or hardware specifications used for running experiments.
Software Dependencies No This is a theoretical paper that focuses on mathematical proofs and algorithm design. It does not mention any specific software dependencies with version numbers that would be required to replicate experiments.
Experiment Setup No This is a theoretical paper focused on algorithm design and analysis, not empirical experiments. Therefore, it does not provide details about experimental setup, hyperparameters, or training configurations.
