Abstract:

The problem of fair allocations of goods can be divided into two sub-problems, goods are divisible and goods are indivisible.The two sub-problems have similarities but also many differences. In this presentation, we will briefly introduce some results of these two problems up to now, and give a more detailed description of the algorithms about different fairness concepts like envy-free (EF) and envy-free up to one item (EF1) in these two sub-problems.
