N-Person Cake-Cutting: There May Be No Perfect Division
2011
Social Science Research Network
We prove that no perfect division exists for an extension of the example for three or more players. ...
It turns out that two of the three properties can be satisfied by a 3-cut and a 4-cut division, which raises the question of whether the 3-cut division, which is not efficient, or the 4-cut division, which ...
(We show later, however, that our results for a cake also apply to a pie. ) We focus in this paper on n-person cake-cutting. ...

Fair Multi-Cake Cutting
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
In the classic problem of fair cake-cutting, a single interval ("cake") has to be divided among n agents with different value measures, giving each agent a single sub-interval with a value of at least ...
The paper presents a polynomial-time algorithm that guarantees to each agent at least min(1/n, k/(m+n-1)) of the total value, and shows that this is the largest fraction that can be guaranteed. ...
Some relatively up-to-date surveys can be found in the Wikipedia pages "Fair division", "Fair cakecutting", "Proportional cake-cutting", "Envy-free cake-cutting" and "Fair item allocation". ...

Two-Person Cake Cutting: The Optimal Number of Cuts

When two players divide such a good, there is always a perfect division-one that is efficient (Pareto-optimal), envyfree, and equitable-which can be effected with a finite number of cuts under certain ...

Divide-and-Conquer: A Proportional, Minimal-Envy Cake-Cutting Algorithm
2011
SIAM Review
We analyze a class of proportional cake-cutting algorithms that use a minimal number of cuts (n − 1 if there are n players) to divide a cake that the players value along one dimension. ...
However, D&C may not allow players to obtain proportional, connected pieces if they have unequal entitlements. Possible applications of D&C to land division are briefly discussed. ...
An "ideal" division might be an envy-free division that is as close as possible to being equitable, but there is no general n-person algorithm that yields even an envyfree division, much less one that ...

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 16232 "Fair Division". ...
We deal with a simple problem: There are n units of two types that need to be allocated among n people, one per person. Preferences are stochastic. ...
Land-value data: For land, in contrast to cake, there exist detailed value maps, which can be used to test the performance of cake-cutting algorithms. ...

In this article we study a cake cutting problem. ...
In the second part, we give a proportional and symmetric fair division algorithm with a complexity in O(n 3) in the Robertson-Webb model of complexity. This algorithm is based on Kuhn's algorithm. ...
When we design a cake cutting algorithm, we have to precise what is the meaning of a fair division. Indeed, there exists different notions of fair division. ...

Geometric division with a fixed point: Not half the cake, but at least 4/9

We study a two-person problem of cutting a homogeneous cake where one player is disadvantaged from the outset: Unlike under the divide-and-choose rule he may only choose a point on the cake through which ...
Problem, Player 1 is disadvantaged, both relative to Player 2 and to the standard cake-cutting problem. ...
The cake-cutting problem is probably the most familiar example, but problems of allocating burdens (chore division) and also mixed, rent partitioning problems are widely discussed. 1 In two-player settings ...

We show how envy-free matchings can be used in various fair division problems with either continuous resources ("cakes") or discrete ones. ...
In particular, we propose a symmetric algorithm for proportional cake-cutting, an algorithm for 1-out-of-(2n-2) maximin-share allocation of discrete goods, and an algorithm for 1-out-of-floor(2n/3) maximin-share ...
In the general case, there may be several different minimum-cost envy-free matchings, Algorithm 5 A symmetric algorithm for proportional cake-cutting. Based on Chèze [12] . ...

FIXP-membership via Convex Optimization: Games, Cakes, and Markets
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Our technique constructs a "pseudogate" which can be used as a black box when building FIXP circuits. This pseudogate, which we term the "OPT-gate", can solve most convex optimization problems. ...
Using the OPT-gate, we prove new FIXP-membership results, and we generalize and simplify several known results from the literature on fair division, game theory and competitive markets. ...
We argue by contradiction, so suppose that x is not an envy-free division. This means that there
is no perfect matching in the bipartite graph described at the beginning of this subsection. ...
