The Price of Equity with Binary Valuations and Few Agent Types

U Bhaskar, N Misra, A Sethia, R Vaish - International Symposium on …, 2023 - Springer
In fair division problems, the notion of price of fairness measures the loss in welfare due to a
fairness constraint. Prior work on the price of fairness has focused primarily on envy …

Nearly Equitable Allocations beyond Additivity and Monotonicity

S Barman, U Bhaskar, Y Pandit, S Pyne - Proceedings of the AAAI …, 2024 - ojs.aaai.org
Equitability (EQ) in fair division requires that items be allocated such that all agents value the
bundle they receive equally. With indivisible items, an equitable allocation may not exist …

On the price of fairness of allocating contiguous blocks

A Sun, B Li - arXiv preprint arXiv:2205.10836, 2022 - arxiv.org
In this work, we revisit the problem of fairly allocating a number of indivisible items that are
located on a line to multiple agents. A feasible allocation requires that the allocated items to …

The (Exact) Price of Cardinality for Indivisible Goods: A Parametric Perspective

A Lam, B Li, A Sun - arXiv preprint arXiv:2501.01660, 2025 - arxiv.org
We adopt a parametric approach to analyze the worst-case degradation in social welfare
when the allocation of indivisible goods is constrained to be fair. Specifically, we are …
