Fairness maintenance in social regional resource allocation management

Abstract

The relationship between the fairness and benefit tradeoff in regional social resource allocation management is studied and analyzed. Fairness is a basic requirement of different regional entities for social resource competition while benefit maximization by sacrificing fairness is preferred by resource provider. Hence how to balance these two respects and derive the explicit tradeoff point is a key challenging issue. We consider both the fairness requirement constraint and resource benefit maximization and set up an objective optimization formulation. The fairness-benefit tradeoff curve is presented by solving the objective optimization problem, and the derived curve shows the benefits gained with the respect to the extent of fairness sacrifice.
