7 We give a framework for designing prophet inequalities for combinatorial welfare maximization. 8 Instantiated with different parameters, our framework implies (1) an O (log m/ log log m )-competitive 9 prophet inequality for subadditive agents, improving over the O (log m ) upper bound via item pricing, 10 (2) an O ( D log m/ log log m )-competitive prophet inequality for D -approximately subadditive agents, 11 where D ∈ { 1 , . . . , m − 1 } measures the maximum number of items that complement each other, 12 and (3) as a byproduct, an O (1)-competitive prophet inequality for submodular or fractionally 13 subadditive (a.k.a. XOS) agents, matching the optimal ratio asymptotically. Our framework is 14 computationally efficient given sample access to the prior and demand queries. 15
