We propose two distributed iterative algorithms that can be used to solve, in finite time, the distributed optimization problem over quadratic local cost functions in large-scale networks. The first algorithm exhibits synchronous operation…

We study the computational complexity of finding fair allocations of indivisible goods in the setting where a social network on the agents is given. Notions of fairness in this context are "localized", that is, agents are only concerned…

We study the problem of allocating a set of indivisible goods among a set of agents in a fair and efficient manner. An allocation is said to be fair if it is envy-free up to one good (EF1), which means that each agent prefers its own bundle…
