In Fragnelli et al. (TOP 22:892–933, 2014), we considered a bankruptcy problem with the additional constraint that the estate has to be assigned in integer unities, allowing for non-integer claims. We dealt with the question of existence and uniqueness of a solution and proposed the “box method” that is strongly oriented towards the constrained equal losses solution; uniqueness may be guaranteed by...
The world's energy consumption has doubled over the past 40 years and it is estimated that one-third comes from industry. Therefore, an increase of the efficiency in energy use in industries would greatly benefit the sustainability of the factories and consequently of the whole environment and society. A factory is a complex entity constituted by possibly networked plants which produce a set of products...
In this paper, we consider a bankruptcy problem with the additional constraint that the estate has to be assigned in integer unities; differently from the approaches by other authors, we allow for non-integer claims. This situation poses new questions on the existence and the uniqueness of the solution. We propose a new solution method that leads to the “box solution”, for which uniqueness may be...
This paper starts from a classical fair division situation of allocating an object among a set of agents. The problem is studied from both a cooperative and a bankruptcy point of view, analyzing the fairness properties of the proposed solutions.
