Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical We consider the fair division problem of indivisible items. It is well-known that an envy-free allocation may not exist, and a relaxed version of envy-freeness, envy-freeness up to one item (EF1), has been widely considered. ... We propose a new fairness notion named envy-freeness with prioritized agents EFPRIOR, and study the existence and the algorithmic aspects for the problem of computing an EFPRIOR allocation. ... In particular, we present a polynomialtime algorithm that outputs an EFPRIOR allocation with most of the items allocated. When all the items need to be allocated, we also present polynomial-time algorithms for some well-motivated special cases.
