Ordinal Maximin Share Approximation for Goods

نویسندگان

چکیده

In fair division of indivisible goods, $\ell$-out-of-$d$ maximin share (MMS) is the value that an agent can guarantee by partitioning goods into $d$ bundles and choosing $\ell$ least preferred bundles. Most existing works aim to all agents a constant fraction their 1-out-of-$n$ MMS. But this sensitive small perturbation in agents' cardinal valuations. We consider more robust approximation notion, which depends only on \emph{ordinal} rankings prove existence $\ell$-out-of-$\lfloor(\ell+\frac{1}{2})n\rfloor$ MMS allocations for any integer $\ell\geq 1$, present polynomial-time algorithm finds $1$-out-of-$\lceil\frac{3n}{2}\rceil$ allocation when $\ell = 1$. further develop provides weaker ordinal >

On Truthful Mechanisms for Maximin Share Allocations

We study a fair division problem with indivisible items, namely the computation of maximin share allocations. Given a set of n players, the maximin share of a single player is the best she can guarantee to herself, if she would partition the items in any way she prefers, into n bundles, and then receive her least desirable bundle. The objective then is to find an allocation, so that each player...

Approximate Maximin Share Allocations in Matroids

The maximin share guarantee is, in the context of allocating indivisible goods to a set of agents, a recent fairness criterion. A solution achieving a constant approximation of this guarantee always exists and can be computed in polynomial time. We extend the problem to the case where the goods collectively received by the agents satisfy a matroidal constraint. Polynomial approximation algorith...

Groupwise 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 ...

Approximation Algorithms for Max-Min Share Allocations of Indivisible Chores and Goods

We consider Max-min Share (MmS) allocations of items both in the case where items are goods (positive utility) and when they are chores (negative utility). We show that fair allocations of goods and chores have some fundamental connections but differences as well. We prove that like in the case for goods, an MmS allocation does not need to exist for chores and computing an MmS allocation if it ...

When Can the Maximin Share Guarantee Be Guaranteed?

The fairness notion of maximin share (MMS) guarantee underlies a deployed algorithm for allocating indivisible goods under additive valuations. Our goal is to understand when we can expect to be able to give each player his MMS guarantee. Previous work has shown that such an MMS allocation may not exist, but the counterexample requires a number of goods that is exponential in the number of play...
