A lone divider allocation algorithm with subjective divisibility

Abstract

In the subjective divisibility allocation model, all goods are divisible, every agent $i$ has a non-negative additive valuation function $v_i$, where for some goods $v_i$ is additive over fractions of the good, and for some goods, any fraction smaller than~1 has value~0. Previous work established the existence of $\frac{5}{9}$-MMS allocations in this setting. We show that $\frac{3}{5}$-MMS allocations exist. Our proof is based on an adaptation of the lone divider framework.
