Ternary Valuations and Fair Allocation Complexity Analysis
Kernkonzepte
Fair allocation under ternary valuations is APX-hard for both Nash and egalitarian welfare objectives.
Zusammenfassung
The content discusses the complexity of fair allocation under ternary valuations with distinct values a, b, and c. It explores the challenges of maximizing Nash and egalitarian welfare, showing APX-hardness for both objectives. The analysis includes reductions from graph theory problems and comparisons with previous results.
Abstract

Introduction
Fair allocation is a fundamental issue in computational economics.
Challenges arise when agents have arbitrary valuations.
Results
APX-hardness is shown for maximizing Nash welfare under ternary valuations.
Complexity analysis for maximizing egalitarian welfare is provided.
Additional Work
Approximation algorithms and APX-hardness in related studies are discussed.
Preliminaries
Definitions and assumptions for the fair allocation problem.

본 연구에서는 공정 배분 문제의 복잡성을 다양한 가치 평가 시나리오에서 더 줄일 수 있을까요?
이 연구에서는 특정한 세 가지 값 a, b, c에 대한 가치평가 시나리오에서 최대 나시 복지(MNW) 문제의 복잡성을 분석했습니다. 그러나 다른 가치 평가 시나리오에서는 더 낮은 복잡성을 가질 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 다양한 가치 범위, 추가적인 제약 조건 또는 다른 가치 조합에 대한 연구를 통해 더 효율적인 알고리즘을 개발할 수 있을 것입니다. 또한, 다양한 가치 평가 시나리오에서의 복잡성을 비교하여 어떤 경우에 가장 효율적인 해결책이 제공될 수 있는지에 대한 통찰을 얻을 수 있을 것입니다.
