Optimal preference satisfaction for conflict-free joint decisions

Understand

We all have preferences when multiple choices are available.

• If we insist on satisfying our preferences only, we may suffer a loss due to conflicts with other people's identical selections.
• Such a case applies when the choice cannot be divided into multiple pieces due to the intrinsic nature of the resources.
• Former studies, such as the top trading cycle, examined how to conduct fair joint decision-making while avoiding decision conflicts from the perspective of game theory when multiple players have their own deterministic preference profiles.
