Setting lower bounds on truthfulness

We present and discuss general techniques for proving inapproximability results for truthful mecha-nisms. We demonstrate the usefulness of these techniques by proving lower bounds on the approximability of several non-utilitarian multi-parameter problems. In particular, we illustrate the strength of...
