Title: Almost Group Envy-free Allocation of Indivisible Goods and Chores
Date: Tuesday 5 November 2019
Time: 16:00
Location: Room F3.20, Science Park 107, Amsterdam

Abstract

In this talk I will present some recent work I have been doing with Haris Aziz. We consider a multiagent resource allocation setting in which an agent's utility may decrease or increase when an item is allocated. We present stronger and relaxed versions of the group envy-freeness concept that are especially suitable for the allocation of indivisible items. Of particular interest is a concept called group envy-freeness up to one item (GEF1). We study which fairness concepts guarantee the existence of a fair allocation under which preference domain. For two natural classes of additive utilities, we design polynomial-time algorithms to compute a GEF1 allocation.
