摘要:

我们研究的经典问题,公平分配一组不可分割的商品之间的代理,并专注于近似比例的概念,称为PROPm。以前的工作表明,存在一个分配,满足这种公平的概念,涉及多达五个代理的情况下,但未能证明这是真的一般。我们扩展这个结果表明,PROPm分配保证存在于所有的实例,独立的代理或货物的数量。我们的证明是建设性的,提供了一个算法,计算这样的分配,不像以前的工作,该算法的运行时间是多项式的代理商的数量和货物的数量。

英文摘要:

We study the classic problem of fairly allocating a set of indivisible goods among a group of agents, and focus on the notion of approximate proportionality known as PROPm. Prior work showed that there exists an allocation that satisfies this notion of fairness for instances involving up to five agents, but fell short of proving that this is true in general. We extend this result to show that a PROPm allocation is guaranteed to exist for all instances, independent of the number of agents or goods. Our proof is constructive, providing an algorithm that computes such an allocation and, unlike prior work, the running time of this algorithm is polynomial in both the number of agents and the number of goods.
