An allocation is fPO if-and-only-if it is non-malicious, and its directed consumption graph as no directed cycle in which the product of weights is smaller than 1. This equivalence was proved for goods in the context of cake-cutting by Barbanel. It was extended for bads by Branzei and Sandomirskiy.

The following example shows the "price" of fPO. The integral allocation maximizing the product of utilities (also called the Nash welfare) is PE but not fPO. Moreover, the product of utilities in any fPO allocation is at most 1/3 of the maximum product. There are five goods
1805:), then the consumption graph of the resulting allocation is acyclic. Alternatively, it is possible to remove cycles from the resulting consumption graph in polynomial time. They also present an algorithm that converts a fractional fPO+WPROP allocation to a discrete 235:
is (discrete) Pareto-efficient. To see this, consider the other possible discrete allocations: their utility profiles are (7,0) or (0,3) or (2,4). In any case, the utility of at least one agent is smaller, so no discrete allocation dominates
