A hedonic diversity game (HDG) is a coalition formation problem, where the set of agents is partitioned into two types of agents (say red and blue agents), and each agent has preferences over the relative number (fraction) of agents of her own type in her coalition. In a dichotomous hedonic diversity game (DHDG) each agent partitions the set of possible fractions into a set of approved and a set of disapproved fractions. The solution concepts for these games considered in the literature so far are concerned with stability notions such as core and Nash stability. We add to the existing literature by providing NP-completeness results for the decision problems whether a DHDG admits (i) a Nash stable outcome and (ii) a strictly core stable outcome respectively, in restricted settings with only two (and three, respectively) approved fractions per agent. In addition, we consider the criterion of social welfare maximization in HDG and DHDG. In that context we provide an NP-completeness result for HDG under the use of Borda scores. For DHDG and approval scores, we draw the separation line between polynomially solvable and NP-complete cases with respect to the number of approved fractions per agent.
