I recommend the book "Fair Division and Collective Welfare" by H. J. Moulin, it discusses some of these problems and several related others.

That looks like it only discusses interpersonal utility comparisons. I don't see anything about intrapersonal utility comparison in the book description.

They just do interpersonal comparisons; lots of their ideas generalize to intrapersonal comparisons though.
