Fair allocation of indivisible goods: Beyond additive valuations

چکیده
We conduct a study on the problem of fair allocation indivisible goods when maximin share [1] is used as measure fairness. Most current studies this notion are limited to case that valuations additive. In paper, we go beyond additive and consider cases submodular, fractionally subadditive, subadditive. give constant approximation guarantees for agents with submodular XOS valuations, logarithmic bound subadditive valuations. Furthermore, complement our results by providing close upper bounds each class valuation functions. Finally, present algorithms find such allocations settings in polynomial time.

Fair Allocation of Indivisible Goods
As introduced in Chapter 11 (Thomson, 2015), Fair Division refers to the general problem of fairly dividing a common resource among agents having different —and sometimes antagonistic— interests in the resource. But under this general term one can actually gather a cluster of very different problems, all calling for different solution concepts: after all, one can easily figure out that we canno...
متن کاملFair Allocation of Indivisible Public Goods
We consider the problem of fairly allocating indivisible public goods. We model the public goods as elements with feasibility constraints on what subsets of elements can be chosen, and assume that agents have additive utilities across elements. Our model generalizes existing frameworks such as fair public decision making and participatory budgeting. We study a groupwise fairness notion called t...
متن کاملMax-min fair allocation of indivisible goods
We consider the problem of fairly allocating a set of m indivisible goods to n agents, given the agents' utilities for each good. Fair allocations in this context are those maximizing the minimum utility received by any agent. We give hardness results and polynomial time approximation algorithms for several variants of this problem. Our main result is a bicriteria approximation in the model wit...
متن کاملDistributed fair allocation of indivisible goods
Distributed mechanisms for allocating indivisible goods are mechanisms lacking central control, in which agents can locally agree on deals to exchange some of the goods in their possession. We study convergence properties for such distributed mechanisms when used as fair division procedures. Specifically, we identify sets of assumptions under which any sequence of deals meeting certain conditio...
متن کاملGroupwise Maximin Fair Allocation of Indivisible Goods
We study the problem of allocating indivisible goods among n agents in a fair manner. For this problem, maximin share (MMS) is a well-studied solution concept which provides a fairness threshold. Specifically, maximin share is defined as the minimum utility that an agent can guarantee for herself when asked to partition the set of goods into n bundles such that the remaining (n− 1) agents pick ...
