A splitting problem is a problem of dividing possibly heterogenous objects into different groups. For example, (i) a seller of an object, say a used car with uncertain quality, may provide partial or noisy evidence about its quality (whereby cars with different qualities may be ``grouped together'') in order to maximize his expected profit; or (ii) a public authority may divide a mass of students with different ability levels into a number of schools in order to control the schools' peer effects and maximize their total attainment. The optimal splitting is characterized under certain conditions, and its ``natural'' implementation by monotone policies is presented.
