Weighted Notions of Fairness with Binary Supermodular Chores
read the original abstract
We study the problem of allocating indivisible chores among agents with binary supermodular cost functions. In other words, each chore has a marginal cost of $0$ or $1$ and chores exhibit increasing marginal costs (or decreasing marginal utilities). In this note, we combine the techniques of Viswanathan and Zick (2022) and Barman et al. (2023) to present a general framework for fair allocation with this class of valuation functions. Our framework allows us to generalize the results of Barman et al. (2023) and efficiently compute allocations which satisfy weighted notions of fairness like weighted leximin or min weighted $p$-mean malfare for any $p \ge 1$.

Some Improved Results on Fair and Balanced Graph Partitions
Balanced partitions exist that are O(max{√Δ, k²} ln n)-approximately envy-free and (k + o(k))-approximately core, with efficient computation under relaxed balance and stronger (1.618 + o(1))-core for k=2.
