Multilevel Fair Resource Allocation
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Introduces a novel framework for multilevel fair resource allocation in hierarchical structures.
- •Proposes two algorithms: a sequential algorithm with theoretical guarantees and an extension of General Yankee Swap.
- •Addresses the challenge of maintaining fairness and efficiency in a complex allocation setting.
- •The algorithms are designed for scenarios where leaves have matroid-rank utility functions and internal nodes sum their children's utilities.
“The paper proposes two original algorithms: a generic polynomial-time sequential algorithm with theoretical guarantees and an extension of the General Yankee Swap.”
