The auction algorithm[1] is an algorithm in optimal transport in which a set of buyers exchange goods for varied prices until an eventual equilibrium is reached. The algorithm pertains to the discrete formulation of optimal transport, as well as provides a connection to the dual problem. The algorithm is useful in the field of economics because of its ability to find an equilibrium.
