New MDEA model tackles complex multi-attribute item allocation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper introduces the multidimensional efficient allocation (MDEA) model to address complex allocation problems where items have multiple attributes. The research explores simultaneous efficiency under utilitarian social welfare (USW) and egalitarian social welfare (ESW) objectives. Findings indicate that optimizing multiple dimensions simultaneously is challenging, with approximations limited by the number of dimensions, and even deciding on simultaneous optimization for two dimensions can be NP-hard.

    Simultaneously Efficient Allocation of Indivisible Items Across Multiple Dimensions

    Many allocation problems are intrinsically multidimensional, since an item may contribute differently to several criteria, and optimizing a single aggregate objective can hide severe losses in other dimensions. We study how much efficiency can be guaranteed simultaneously when in…
