On Choosing and Bounding Probability Metrics
TLDR
This work provides a summary and some new results concerning bounds among some important probability metrics/distances that are used by statisticians and probabilists and examples that show that rates of convergence can strongly depend on the metric chosen.
Rental Harmony: Sperner's Lemma in Fair Division
  • F. Su
  • Mathematics
  • 1 December 1999
My friend’s dilemma was a practical question that mathematics could answer, both elegantly and constructively. He and his housemates were moving to a house with rooms of various sizes and features,…
The Banach-Tarski Paradox
Author’s note: This paper was originally written for my Minor Thesis requirement of the Ph.D. program at Harvard University. The object of this requirement is to learn about a body of work that is…
The Shapley value of phylogenetic trees
TLDR
The Shapley value of tree games is considered and a biological interpretation is suggested, a counterpart to Shapley’s original theorem on the larger class of cooperative games.
Consensus-halving via theorems of Borsuk-Ulam and Tucker
A Polytopal Generalization of Sperner's Lemma
TLDR
This work provides two proofs of the following conjecture: a non-constructive proof introducing the notion of a pebble set of a polytope, and a constructive proof using a path-following argument.
Voting in Agreeable Societies
TLDR
Examples of situations where sets model preferences and develop extensions of classical theorems about convex sets that can be used in the analysis of voting in "agreeable" societies are given.
Bidding for envy-freeness: A procedural approach to n-player fair-division problems
TLDR
It is shown how the procedure eliminates envy by compensating envious players, establishes envy-freeness with minimal resources, and demonstrates its application to a wide class of fair-division problems.
