Book Description:
|
The author focuses exclusively on abstract existence results, rather than algorithms, and on the geometric objects that arise naturally in this context. By examining the shape of these objects and the relationship between them, he demonstrates several results concerning efficiency properties such as Pareto maximality and fairness properties such as envy-freeness for partitions.
