Confirms that coordinate-wise median achieves tight approximation ratios of 2^{1-1/p} (p>=2) and sqrt(2) (1<=p<=2) and is optimal among deterministic anonymous strategyproof mechanisms; randomized mechanisms improve for p around 1.6 and above.

A new sequential interaction framework lets LLMs propose questions to forums, with simulations on real Stack Exchange data showing players can reach roughly half the utility of an ideal full-information scenario despite incentive misalignment.
Authors initiate mechanism design for reconnecting disrupted regions by characterizing all strategyproof anonymous mechanisms and bounding their approximation ratios for social and maximum cost objectives.
With k strategic liars out of n clients, Nash equilibria always exist with price of anarchy at most (n+2k)/(n-2k) (nearly tight), and strong equilibria exist on lines with cost at most (n+k)/(n-k) times optimal.
