No-envy in Queueing Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
We explore the implications of no-envy (Foley 1967) in the context of queueing problems. We identify an easy way of checking whether a rule satisfies efficiency and no-envy. The existence of such a rule can easily be established. Next, we ask whether there is a rule satisfying efficiency and noenvy together with an additional solidarity requirement: every agent should be affected in the same direction as a consequence of changes in the waiting costs. However, there is no rule satisfying efficiency, no-envy, and either one of two cost monotonicity axioms. To remedy the situation, we propose two modifications of no-envy, backward/forward no-envy and adjusted no-envy. Also, we discuss whether three fairness requirements, no-envy, the identical preferences lower bound, and egalitarian equivalence, are compatible in this context.

A New Heuristic Solution Method for Maximal Covering Location-Allocation Problem with M/M/1 Queueing System
We consider the queueing maximal covering location-allocation problem (QM-CLAP) with an M/M/1 queueing system. We propose a new solution procedure based on decomposition of the problem into smaller sub-problems. We solve the resulting sub-problems both with a branch and bound algorithm and with the meta-heuristic GRASP. We also solve the entire model with GRASP. Computational results for these ...
متن کاملMultiple Assignment Problems of Indivisible Goods without Monetary Transfer
The paper studies the fair allocation of a finite set of indivisible goods among a finite set of agents. We focus on multiple assignment problems without free disposal so that, at least one agent receives more than one object. No monetary transfers are involved. The criteria include: (i) Pareto-efficiency; (ii) no-envy and derived notions namely single object no-envy which requires that all age...
متن کاملEnvy-Free and Efficient Minimal Rights: Recursive No-Envy
In economics the main efficiency criterion is that of Pareto-optimality. For problems of distributing a social endowment a central notion of fairness is no-envy (each agent should receive a bundle at least as good, according to her own preferences, as any of the other agent’s bundle). For most economies there are multiple allocations satisfying these two properties. We provide a procedure, base...
متن کاملEmergency Location Problems with an M/G/k Queueing System
Since late 1960's, the emergency location problems, fire stations and medical emergency services have attracted the attention of researchers. Mathematical models, both deterministic and probabilistic, have been proposed and applied to find suitable locations for such facilities in many urban and rural areas. Here, we review some models proposed for finding the location of such facilities, wit...
