Mathematical Devices for Getting a Fair Share
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the dawn of history (and certainly before) people have bickered, even battled, over the fair distribution of resources— for example, the division of estates, disputed territories and the spoils of war. Such dilemmas have for the most part been resolved unilaterally, by kings (Solomon and the baby), judges or simple force. Few truly logical solutions evolved. In the past 50 years, however, a number of mathematical devices have been discovered that offer elegant, practical and often surprisingly simple resolutions to many problems of fair-division.

متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of a Weighted Sacrificing Fair Queueing Algorithm for Wireless Packet Networks
Fair scheduling algorithms have been proposed to tackle the problem of bursty and location-dependent errors in wireless packet networks. Most of those algorithms ensure the fairness property and guarantee the QoS of all sessions in a large-scale cellular network such as GSM or GPRS. In this paper, we propose the Weighted-Sacrificing Fair Queueing (WSFQ) scheduling algorithm for small-area and d...

Play is often episodic and mission-centric, with a series of challenges culminating in a final puzzle or enemy that must be overcome. Multiple missions played with the same characters may be related to each other in a plot arc of escalating challenges. The exact tone, structure, pace and end (if any) vary from game to game depending on the needs and preferences of the players, as in [9]. "THE C...
متن کاملAsymptotic existence of proportionally fair allocations
Fair division has long been an important problem in the economics literature. In this note, we consider the existence of proportionally fair allocations of indivisible goods, i.e., allocations of indivisible goods in which every agent gets at least her proportionally fair share according to her own utility function. We show that when utilities are additive and utilities for individual goods are...
متن کاملAutonomous Wireless Heat Energy Meter based on Piezoelectric Energy Harvester for Heat Energy Measurement in Building Complexes
This paper presents a platform for power autonomous wireless energy meter device using piezoelectric energy harvesters. This device can be mainly used for measuring the share of heat energy consumption in a fair manner in building complex with central heat energy system. In the suggested device, the piezoelectric energy harvester is also used as a flow-meter to reduce the power consumption of t...
