Gravitational allocation to Poisson points [PDF]
For d>=3, we construct a non-randomized, fair and translation-equivariant allocation of Lebesgue measure to the points of a standard Poisson point process in R^d, defined by allocating to each of the Poisson points its basin of attraction with respect to the flow induced by a gravitational force field exerted by the points of the Poisson process.

Optimal Power Allocation for Energy Harvesting and Power Grid Coexisting Wireless Communication Systems [PDF]
This paper considers the power allocation of a single-link wireless communication with joint energy harvesting and grid power supply. We formulate the problem as minimizing the grid power consumption with random energy and data arrival, and analyze the structure of the optimal power allocation policy in some special cases.

Low communication protocols for fair allocation of indivisible goods [PDF]
We study the multi-party randomized communication complexity of computing a fair allocation of $m$ indivisible goods to $n < m$ equally entitled agents. We first consider MMS allocations, allocations that give every agent at least her maximin share. Such allocations are guaranteed to exist for simple classes of valuation functions.

Optimum allocation in multivariate stratified random sampling: Stochastic matrix optimisation [PDF]
The allocation problem for multivariate stratified random sampling as a problem of stochastic matrix integer mathematical programming is considered. With these aims the asymptotic normality of sample covariance matrices for each strata is established. Some alternative approaches are suggested for its solution.

Optimal Treatment Allocation under Constraints [PDF]
In optimal policy problems where treatment effects vary at the individual level, optimally allocating treatments to recipients is complex even when potential outcomes are known. We present an algorithm for multi-arm treatment allocation problems that is guaranteed to find the optimal allocation in strongly polynomial time, and which is able to handle ...

Multivariate stratified sampling by stochastic multiobjective optimisation [PDF]
This work considers the allocation problem for multivariate stratified random sampling as a problem of integer non-linear stochastic multiobjective mathematical programming. With this goal in mind the asymptotic distribution of the vector of sample variances is studied.
