Research Type Theoretical Our main contribution is a generalization of envy-freeness called negotiated envy-freeness. We show that a solution satisfying negotiated envy-freeness is guaranteed to exist and that it is possible to optimize over all negotiated envy-free solutions in polynomial time. We also define an even stronger fairness notion called universal envy-freeness and study its existence when values are drawn randomly.

Open Source Code No The paper does not contain an explicit statement or link indicating that the authors have released open-source code for the methodology described.
Open Datasets No The paper focuses on theoretical models and proofs, discussing instances where "the valuation matrix V is drawn randomly, where each player s value for each room is drawn from a distribution D". This refers to a theoretical distribution for analysis rather than a specific publicly available dataset used for experiments.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not describe experiments using specific datasets and therefore does not provide any information about dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and presents algorithms and proofs. It does not describe any computational experiments that would require specific hardware specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper focuses on theoretical models and algorithms. It does not mention any specific software or library dependencies with version numbers that would be required for implementation or experimentation.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical, presenting models, theorems, and algorithms. It does not describe any empirical experiments or provide details about hyperparameters, training configurations, or other system-level settings.
