Abstract:In this paper, we study the problem of counting the number of different knapsack solutions with a prescribed cardinality. We present an FPTAS for this problem, based on dynamic programming. We also introduce two different types of semi-fair allocations of indivisible goods between two players. By semi-fair allocations, we mean allocations that ensure that at least one of the two players will be free of envy. We study the problem of counting such allocations and we provide FPTASs for both types, by employing ou… Show more
