Approximate Proportionality in Online Fair Division

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Learn how to approximate proportionality in online fair division using greedy allocation rules and learning-augmented algorithms, and understand the limitations and guarantees of these approaches

advanced Published 29 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Analyze the limitations of greedy allocation rules for approximating proportionality up to one good (PROP1)
  2. Design and evaluate the performance of the uniform random allocation under a non-adaptive adversary
  3. Develop and test online algorithms that incorporate coarse predictions for robust PROP1 approximation
  4. Compare the guarantees and limitations of different approaches for approximating PROP1
  5. Apply the findings to real-world scenarios, such as resource allocation and decision-making
Who Needs to Know This

Researchers and practitioners in AI, game theory, and multiagent systems can benefit from this study, as it provides new insights and algorithms for fair division in online settings

Key Insight

💡 The uniform random allocation can achieve a meaningful PROP1 approximation with high probability under a non-adaptive adversary, but incorporating coarse predictions can provide more robust guarantees
