Open Access Theses & Dissertations

The problem of resource allocation among a group of agents naturally arises in a wide range of real-life events. The subject has earned popularity across the disciplines of Economics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence Operations Research and Social Welfare. This resource allocation problem can be commonly referred to as Multi-Agent Resource Allocation (MARA). This work considers a MARA problem where a central agent decides to allocate a set of divisible and non-divisible goods. MARA is considered to be part of an interdisciplinary research area in which the literature is vast and rapidly developing. However, most of the available literature mainly focuses …
