Weakly additive

Weakly additive

In fair division, a set of preferences is weakly additiveif the following condition is met: : If A is larger than B, and C is larger than D (and pieces A and C do not overlap) then A together with C is preferable to B together with D.

Weak additivity is often a realistic assumption, and simplifies the mathematics of certain fair division problems considerably.
