Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.
