Abstract
We consider a fair division model in which agents have positive, zero and negative utilities for items. For this model, we analyse one existing fairness property - EFX - and three new and related properties - EFX, EFX and EF1 - in combination with Pareto-optimality. With general utilities, we give a modified version of an existing algorithm for computing an EF1 allocation. With utilities, this algorithm returns an EFX and PO allocation. With absolute identical utilities, we give a new algorithm for an EFX and PO allocation. With utilities, this algorithm also returns such an allocation. We report some new impossibility results as well.
