摘要

我们考虑的问题是，当代理人可以根据他们对设施的需求进行排序时，如何划分设施的成本，而满足一个有特定需求的代理人可以在不增加成本的情况下满足所有需求较低的代理人。这个问题被称为 "机场问题"，设施就是跑道。我们回顾了专门研究这个问题的文献，并提出了一些有待解决的问题。

Cost allocation and airport problems

We consider the problem of dividing the cost of a facility when agents can be ordered in terms of the needs they have for it, and accommodating an agent with a certain need allows accommodating all agents with lower needs at no extra cost. This problem is known as the “airport problem”, the facility being the runway. We review the literature devoted to its study, and formulate a number of open questions.

期刊介绍： The international, interdisciplinary journal Mathematical Social Sciences publishes original research articles, survey papers, short notes and book reviews. The journal emphasizes the unity of mathematical modelling in economics, psychology, political sciences, sociology and other social sciences. Topics of particular interest include the fundamental aspects of choice, information, and preferences (decision science) and of interaction (game theory and economic theory), the measurement of utility, welfare and inequality, the formal theories of justice and implementation, voting rules, cooperative games, fair division, cost allocation, bargaining, matching, social networks, and evolutionary and other dynamics models. Papers published by the journal are mathematically rigorous but no bounds, from above or from below, limits their technical level. All mathematical techniques may be used. The articles should be self-contained and readable by social scientists trained in mathematics.
