👉 Delegation math, also known as the delegation problem, is a fundamental concept in distributed systems where a central authority (the delegator) must assign tasks to multiple independent agents (delegates) while ensuring that the overall goal is achieved efficiently and reliably. The delegator has a set of tasks and preferences for how these tasks should be distributed, but they may not have complete information about each agent's capabilities or current workload. The challenge lies in designing an algorithm that optimally assigns tasks to agents, considering their individual strengths and constraints, while also handling potential failures or changes in the environment. This often involves trade-offs between optimality, computational complexity, and robustness, making delegation math crucial for designing scalable and fault-tolerant distributed systems.
