In this paper we study tree-structured multi-commodity, multi-unit markets. The concept is a wav to handle dependencies between commodities on the market an a tractable way. The winner determination problem of a general combinatorial market is well known to be NP-hard.

It has been shown that on single-unit single-sided combanatorial auctions ,with tree-structured bundles the problem can be computed in polynomial time. We show that it is possible to extend this to multi-unit double-sided markets. Further it as possible to handle the commodities of a bundle not only as complements but as perfect substitutes too. Under certain conditions the computation time is still polynomial.

multi commodity markets, electronic markets, computational markets, equilibrium markets, resource allocation, power markets, bandwidth markets, computational complexity
