The Max-Min allocation problem is to distribute indivisible goods to people so as to maximize the minimum utility of the people. We show a (2ki¾? 1)-approximation algorithm for Max-Min when there are kpeople with subadditive utility functions. We also give a k/i¾?-approximation algorithm (for i¾?≤ k/2) if the utility functions are additive and the utility of an item for a person is restricted to 0, 1 or Ufor some U> 1. The running time of this algorithm depends exponentially on the parameter i¾?. Both the algorithms are combinatorial, simple and easy to analyze.
