Knapsack cost sharing

Abstract

This paper considers cost sharing rules for the continuous knapsack problem. We assume a knapsack with a weight constraint to be filled with items of different weights chosen from a set of items. The cost of the knapsack needs to be shared among the individuals who approve or disapprove of certain items. Cost sharing rules are discussed and—using various axioms—characterization results are provided. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014
