From the reviews:
“The referred volume is organized as a summary textbook offering mathematical analysis of a series of typical allocation rules. It offers an overview and mathematical formalism of current knowledge of its field of interest, focused on allocating monetary costs among members of a group or network of agents. … The theoretical models are completed by numerous illustrative examples, and all particular chapters are closed by methodological comments, a heuristic summary and a sufficient list of references.” (Milan Mareš, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1178, 2010)
