Abstract
We consider a problem where agents have private positions on a line, and public approval preferences over two facilities, and their cost is the maximum distance from their approved facilities. The goal is to decide the facility locations to minimize the total and the max cost, while incentivizing the agents to be truthful. We design a strategyproof mechanism that is simultaneously 11- and 5-approximate for these two objective functions, thus improving the previously best-known bounds of 2n+1 and 9.
