Allocation Problems

Allocation problems involve distributing limited resources or goods among various individuals or groups to meet specific goals or constraints. These problems arise in contexts like assigning tasks, budgeting, or distributing supplies, where ensuring fairness, efficiency, or maximizing overall benefit is essential. The challenge is to determine the best way to allocate resources so that they satisfy priorities, optimize outcomes, or balance competing needs, often using mathematical models and algorithms to find optimal or near-optimal solutions.
