Diverse fair allocations: Complexity and algorithms
In this work, we initiate the study of diversity of solutions in the context of fair division of indivisible goods. In particular, we explore the notions of disjoint, distinct and symmetric allocations and study their complexity in terms of the fairness notions of envy-freeness and equitability up to one item. We show that for binary valuations, the above problems are polynomial time solvable. In contrast we show NP-hardness of disjoint and symmetric case, when the valuations are additive.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Discrete Applied Mathematics is to bring together research papers in different areas of algorithmic and applicable discrete mathematics as well as applications of combinatorial mathematics to informatics and various areas of science and technology. Contributions presented to the journal can be research papers, short notes, surveys, and possibly research problems. The "Communications" section will be devoted to the fastest possible publication of recent research results that are checked and recommended for publication by a member of the Editorial Board. The journal will also publish a limited number of book announcements as well as proceedings of conferences. These proceedings will be fully refereed and adhere to the normal standards of the journal.
Potential authors are advised to view the journal and the open calls-for-papers of special issues before submitting their manuscripts. Only high-quality, original work that is within the scope of the journal or the targeted special issue will be considered.
