Increasing discount collateral auctions are similar to fixed discount ones in that they are used to preserve the overall system health by liquidating under-collateralized SAFEs and selling off collateral at a discount. This auction type automatically calculates an amount of collateral to send back to a bidder, taking into account the amount of system coins the bidder submits as well as the current system coin redemptionPrice (and optionally its market price) and collateral market price.
Variables
contractEnabled - settlement flag (1 or 0).
AUCTION_HOUSE_TYPE - flag set to bytes32("COLLATERAL")
AUCTION_TYPE - flag set to bytes32("INCREASING_DISCOUNT").
authorizedAccounts[usr: address] - addresses allowed to call modifyParameters() and disableContract().
safeEngine - storage of the SAFEEngine's address.
bids[id: uint] - storage of all bids.
collateralType - id of the collateral type for which the CollateralAuctionHouse is responsible.
minimumBid - minimum amount of system coins that must be submitted by each bidder.
totalAuctionLength - auction length (default: uint48(-1)).
auctionsStarted - total auction count, used to track auction ids.
lastReadRedemptionPrice - the last read redemption price. Can (and most probably is) be different than the latest OracleRelayer._redemptionPrice
minDiscount - initial discount (compared to the collateral market price) used when calculating the amount of collateral to send to a bidder.
maxDiscount - maximum discount (compared to the collateral market price) used when calculating the amount of collateral to send to a bidder.
perSecondDiscountUpdateRate - the rate at which the discount will be updated in an auction.
maxDiscountUpdateRateTimeline - max time over which the discount can be updated in an auction.
lowerCollateralMedianDeviation - max collateralMedian collateral price deviation (compared to the FSM price) used when the median price is lower than the collateralFSM price and the contract needs to pick which one to use
upperCollateralMedianDeviation - max collateralMedian collateral price deviation (compared to the FSM price) used when the median price is higher than the collateralFSM price and the contract needs to pick which one to use
lowerSystemCoinMedianDeviation - max systemCoinOracle price deviation (compared to the redemptionPrice) used when the system coin's redemptionPrice price is higher than its market price and the contract needs to pick which one to use
upperSystemCoinMedianDeviation - max systemCoinOracle price deviation (compared to the redemptionPrice) used when the system coin's redemptionPrice price is lower than its market price and the contract needs to pick which one to use
minSystemCoinMedianDeviation - minimum deviation between the system coin's market and redemption prices that must be passed in order for the contract to use the deviated price instead of the redemption one
oracleRelayer - the address of the OracleRelayer
collateralFSM - the collateral type's FSM address
collateralMedian - collateral type medianizer address
systemCoinOracle - market price oracle for the system coin
liquidationEngine - the address of the LiquidationEngine
RAD - number with 45 decimals (e.g a safeEngine.coinBalance)
WAD - number with 18 decimals (e.g a bid submitted when someone wants to buy collateral from an auction)
RAY - number with 27 decimals
Data Structures
Bid - state of a specific auction
amountToSell - quantity up for auction / remaining collateral for sale
amountToRaise - total system coins still requested by the auction
currentDiscount - the current discount being used in the auction
maxDiscount - the max value that the currentDiscount can have
perSecondDiscountUpdateRate - the rate at which the currentDiscount grows
latestDiscountUpdateTime - last time when the currentDiscount was updated
discountIncreaseDeadline - deadline after which the discount cannot increase anymore
forgoneCollateralReceiver - address of the SAFE whose collateral and debt were confiscated
auctionIncomeRecipient - recipient of auction income / receives system coin income (this is the AccountingEngine contract)
Modifiers
isAuthorized - checks whether an address is part of authorizedAddresses (and thus can call authed functions).
Functions
modifyParameters(bytes32 parameter, uint256 data) - update an uint256 parameter.
modifyParameters(bytes32 parameter, address data) - update an address parameter.
addAuthorization(usr: address) - add an address to authorizedAddresses.
removeAuthorization(usr: address) - remove an address from authorizedAddresses.
getCollateralMedianPrice() public view returns (priceFeed: uint256) - get the collateral's median price from collateralMedian
getSystemCoinFloorDeviatedPrice(redemptionPrice: uint256) public view returns (floorPrice: uint256) - get the smallest possible price that's at max lowerSystemCoinMedianDeviation deviated from the redemption price and at least minSystemCoinMedianDeviation deviated
getSystemCoinCeilingDeviatedPrice(redemptionPrice: uint256) public view returns (ceilingPrice: uint256) - get the highest possible price that's at max upperSystemCoinMedianDeviation deviated from the redemption price and at least minSystemCoinMedianDeviation deviated
getCollateralFSMAndFinalSystemCoinPrices(systemCoinRedemptionPrice: uint256) public view returns (uint256, uint256) - get the collateral price from the FSM and the final system coin price that will be used when bidding in an auction
getSystemCoinMarketPrice() public view returns (priceFeed: uint256) - get the system coin's market price from systemCoinOracle
getFinalTokenPrices(systemCoinRedemptionPrice: uint256) public view returns (uint256, uint256) - get the collateral and system coin prices that can be currently used to determine the amount of collateral bought by bidders
getFinalBaseCollateralPrice(collateralFsmPriceFeedValue: uint256, collateralMedianPriceFeedValue: uint256) public view returns (uint256) - get the collateral price (without the discount applied) used in bidding by picking between the raw FSM and the oracle median price and taking into account deviation limits
getDiscountedCollateralPrice(collateralFsmPriceFeedValue: bytes32, collateralMedianPriceFeedValue: bytes32, systemCoinPriceFeedValue: uint256, customDiscount: uint256) public view returns (uint256) - get the (discounted) collateral price using either the FSM or median price for the collateral and the redemption/market price for the system coin
getNextCurrentDiscount(id: uint256) public view returns (uint256) - get the upcoming discount that will be used in a specific auction
getAdjustedBid(id: uint256, wad: uint256) public view returns (bool, uint256) - get the actual bid that will be used in an auction (taking into account the bidder input)
startAuction(forgoneCollateralReceiver: address, auctionIncomeRecipient: address, amountToRaise: uint256, amountToSell: uint256, initialBid: uint256 ) - function used by LiquidationEngine to start an auction / put collateral up for auction
getApproximateCollateralBought(id: uint256, wad: uint256) - get the amount of collateral that can be bought from a specific auction by bidding wad sysem coins and assuming that the latest system coin redemptionPrice is equal to lastReadRedemptionPrice

terminateAuctionPrematurely(id: uint256) - normally used during GlobalSettlement to terminate an auction early and send unsold collateral to the msg.sender as well as call LiquidationEngine in order to subtract bids[auctionId].amountToRaise from LiquidationEngine.currentOnAuctionSystemCoins
bidAmount(id: uint256) public view returns (uint256) - always returns zero.
remainingAmountToSell(id: uint256) public view returns (uint256) - return the remaining collateral amount to sell from a specific auction.
forgoneCollateralReceiver(uint id) public view returns (address) - returns theforgoneCollateralReceiver for a specific auction.
raisedAmount(id: uint256) - returns zero.
amountToRaise(uint id) public view returns (uint256) - returns the amount of system coins left to raise by a specific auction.

The bidding process in an increasing discount auction is almost identical to the one in fixed discount auctions.
The only difference is that increasing discount auctions start with a smaller discount which increases at a pace of perSecondDiscountUpdateRate per second. The discount will increase until it hitsmaxDiscount or until discountIncreaseDeadline passes.
Increasing discount auctions have the same gotchas as fixed discount ones.
