The Object Distribution Problem Revisited
重新审视物品分配问题，分析Knaster-Steinhaus方案，证明该方案是唯一满足若干公平性要求的分配机制。
The object distribution problem calls for a number of indivisible objects to be assigned to a set of individuals (e.g., the division of estate properties among heirs). Some thirty years ago Knaster and Steinhaus presented a distribution scheme based upon object values reported by individuals. The properties of this scheme are examined, and it is shown that the K-S procedure is the only scheme that satisfies a number of plausible equity requirements.
