In this paper, we study the problem of maximizing welfare in combinatorial auctions with k duplicates of each item, where bidders are subadditive. We present two approximation algorithms for k-duplicates combinatorial auctions with subadditive bidders. First, we give a factorO(√m) approximation algorithm for k-duplicates combinatorial auctions with subadditive valuations using value queries. This algorithm is also incentive compatible. Secondly, we give a factor-O(log m) approximation algorithm for k-duplicates combinatorial auctions with subadditive valuations using demand queries. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
