A combinatorial auction allows participants to make bids on items

in either individual or grouped quantities. Suppose an auctioneer

has 4 items. There are 6 bidders who bid the following:
Bidder 1: $6 for item 1
Bidder 2: $3 for item 2
Bidder 3: $12 total for items 3 and 4
Bidder 4: $12 total for items 1 and 3
Bidder 5: $8 total for items 2 and 4
Bidder 6: $16 total for items 1, 2, and 4
Each item can only go to at most one participant. If a bidder won
the bid on multiple items, they must receive all of them.
formula a linear Integer Program that helps the auctioneer maximize
revenue. Clearly define all decision variables and constraints.

Privileges & Immunities,/Due Process/Equal Protection Discussion:
Analysis & Conclusion
The state of Sand Crabs, facing the southern border of our country,
has experienced an increase in crime, and a deterioration of
effective policing. Most of the crime increase involves crimes of
theft, robbery, burglary. Almost all have been crimes of violence
without resulting arrests. Residents and businesses alike have been
victimized. It has also been documented that over the years there
has been an increase in illegal border crossings. Police have
literally been under attack. There has been a 32% increase of
officers injured during active crime deployment in the last 18
months. This has resulted in several full disability severances pf
female officers. At the same time, the State Police force has
experienced increased numbers of civil law suits and federal
investigation attributed in a rise in the shooting of criminal suspects
by a largely young officer base. Many senior officers claim that
these young, limited English speaking officers lack patience when
responding to crime scenes and do not understand local culture.
Rising temperatures have made out-door patrols a grueling
operation.
In response to these conditions, a group of state legislators are
developing a bill, which will be introduced into the legislature with
full hearing, to increase state police forces. It limits member of the
state police force to male citizens of the United States who are over
the age of 20 years and who have lived in the state for 12 months.
