Optimal Proportional Cake Cutting with Connected Pieces
2021
PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTIETH AAAI CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE TWENTY-EIGHTH INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE
We study computational complexity of computing an efficiency optimal division given the conditions that the allocation satisfies proportional fairness and assigns each agent a connected piece. ...
We consider the classic cake cutting problem where one allocates a divisible cake to n participating agents. Among all valid divisions, fairness and efficiency (a.k.a. ...
(Aumann and Dombb 2010) followed the notion of price of fairness and focused on divisions with only connected pieces. ...

Resource-monotonicity and Population-monotonicity in Connected Cake-cutting
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
In the classic cake-cutting problem (Steinhaus, 1948), a heterogeneous resource has to be divided among n agents with different valuations in a proportional way --- giving each agent a piece with a value ...
Classic cake-cutting protocols are neither RM nor PM. Moreover, we prove that no Pareto-optimal proportional division rule can be either RM or PM. ...
In contrast, with connectivity, the Nash-optimal rule is not proportional. ...

Monotonicity and competitive equilibrium in cake-cutting
2018
Economic Theory
We study the monotonicity properties of solutions in the classic problem of fair cake-cutting --- dividing a heterogeneous resource among agents with different preferences. ...
We formally introduce these concepts to the cake-cutting problem and examine whether they are satisfied by various common division rules. ...
Each of our connected division rules satisfies three of the four properties {PROP,WPO,RM,PM}. ...

Computing optimal fair cake divisions with connected pieces is significantly harder [5] , even if we abandon fairness completely and just focus on optimizing welfare [4] . ...
Let me ask though, with tongue in cheek, how good are optimal cake divisions? ...

Fairness and Efficiency in Cake-Cutting with Single-Peaked Preferences
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We study the cake-cutting problem when agents have single-peaked preferences over the cake. ...
Finally, we provide simple alternative mechanisms that Pareto dominate that of Wang-Wu, and which achieve envy-freeness or Pareto optimality. ...
The cake is cut at each of these points, generating up to 3n+1 cake pieces. ...

Obvious Manipulations in Cake-Cutting
[article]

In cake-cutting, strategy-proofness is a very costly requirement in terms of fairness: for n=2 it implies a dictatorial allocation, whereas for n > 2 it requires that one agent receives no cake. ...

Their mechanism may waste pieces of cake which remain unassigned, something that never occurs with the proportional and NOM mechanism we identify. ...
