The unreasonable fairness of maximum Nash welfare
The maximum Nash welfare (MNW) solution—which selects an allocation that maximizes
the product of utilities—is known to provide outstanding fairness guarantees when allocating …

Finding fair and efficient allocations
We study the problem of allocating a set of indivisible goods among a set of agents in a fair
and efficient manner. An allocation is said to be fair if it is envy-free up to one good (EF1) …

EFX exists for three agents
We study the problem of distributing a set of indivisible goods among agents with additive
valuations in a fair manner. The fairness notion under consideration is envy-freeness up to …

A little charity guarantees almost envy-freeness
BR Chaudhury, T Kavitha, K Mehlhorn… - SIAM Journal on …, 2021 - SIAM
The fair division of indivisible goods is a very well-studied problem. The goal of this problem
is to distribute m goods to n agents in a “fair” manner, where every agent has a valuation for …

Fair allocation of indivisible goods: Improvements and generalizations
We study the problem of fair allocation for indivisible goods. We use the maxmin share
paradigm introduced by Budish~\citeBudish: first as a measure for fairness.\procacciafirst …

Envy-freeness up to any item with high Nash welfare: The virtue of donating items
Several fairness concepts have been proposed recently in attempts to approximate envy-
freeness in settings with indivisible goods. Among them, the concept of envy-freeness up to …

Log-concave polynomials, entropy, and a deterministic approximation algorithm for counting bases of matroids
We give a deterministic polynomial time 2^ O (r)-approximation algorithm for the number of
bases of a given matroid of rank r and the number of common bases of any two matroids of …

Competitive division of a mixed manna
A mixed manna contains goods (that everyone likes) and bads (that everyone dislikes), as
well as items that are goods to some agents, but bads or satiated to others. If all items are …
