A Balance for Fairness: Fair Distribution Utilising Physics in Games of Characteristic Function Form


Abstract in English

In chaotic modern society, there is an increasing demand for the realization of true fairness. In Greek mythology, Themis, the goddess of justice, has a sword in her right hand to protect society from vices, and a balance of judgment in her left hand that measures good and evil. In this study, we propose a fair distribution method utilising physics for the profit in games of characteristic function form. Specifically, we show that the linear programming problem for calculating nucleolus can be efficiently solved by considering it as a physical system in which gravity works. In addition to being able to significantly reduce computational complexity thereby, we believe that this system could have flexibility necessary to respond to real-time changes in the parameter.
