What is Black-Box Reductions in Mechanism Design about?

This document presents a black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for packing problems. Specifically: 1) The authors prove that any packing problem that admits a FPTAS (fully polynomial-time approximation scheme) also admits a truthful-in-expectation randomized mechanism that is an FPTAS. 2) The reduction makes novel use of smoothed analysis by employing small perturbations as a tool in algorithmic mechanism design. 3) The authors develop a "duali
