[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The optimal allocation problem is a generalized multi-dimensional knapsack problem (MDKP): allocating a bundle of goods to an agent reduces the pool of available goods, just as placing an item in a container ...
The problem of allocating discrete computational resources motivates interest in general multi-unit combinatorial exchanges. ...
Given an integert and a resource pool size n, we define Ft as the bundle assigned to agentt by the optimal assignment for the sub-instance defined byt and n. ...
