Abstract

We consider the problem of fairly allocating indivisible goods, focusing on a recently introduced notion of fairness called maximin share guarantee: each player’s value for his allocation should be at least as high as what he can guarantee by dividing the items into as many bundles as there are players and receiving his least desirable bundle. Assuming additive valuation functions, we show that such allocations may not exist, but allocations guaranteeing each player 2/3 of the above value always exist. These theoretical results have direct practical implications.
很好
我们考虑公平分配不可分割物品的问题,重点关注最近引入的一个公平概念,即最大化份额保证:每个玩家的分配价值应该至少与他通过将物品分成尽可能多的捆绑包并获得他最不希望的捆绑包所能保证的价值一样高。假设附加估值函数,我们证明这样的分配可能不存在,但保证每个参与者上述价值的2/3的分配总是存在的。这些理论结果具有直接的实际意义。
