Equitable Resource Allocation: Models, Algorithms and Applications
Hanan Luss · 2012
This course examines diverse resource allocation problems, where a limited amount of resources are allocated among competing activities. We focus on models with significant special mathematical structures, where the corresponding formulations can be exploited and solved by elegant, computationally efficient algorithms. Most of the course will emphasize diverse equitable resource allocation models, where numerous resources are allocated fairly among competing activities. We will explore the use of these models and algorithms in the context of various application areas, including logistics, communication networks, facility location, and homeland security.
