Fair enough: guaranteeing approximate maximin shares

TL;DR: This work considers the problem of fairly allocating indivisible goods, focusing on a recently- introduced notion of fairness called maximin share guarantee, and shows that allocations guaranteeing each player 2/3 of the above value always exist, and can be computed in polynomial time when the number of players is constant.
