Abstract
Westudy the problems of computing envy-free Pareto-efficient allocations in the context of fair allocation and hedonic games under dichotomous preferences. We establish Σp 2-completeness of deciding the existence of envy-free Pareto-efficient allocations, refining earlier related results. Wealso develop iterative SAT-based exact algorithms for computing envy-free Pareto-efficient allocations, and extend the approach to computing minimum-envy Pareto-efficient allocations under different combinations of aggregation functions. We provide open-source implementations of the algorithms and show empirically that the approach scales to computing envy-free Paretoefficient allocations up to hundreds of agents.
