  2. Fair cake-cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_cake-cutting

    The "cake" is only a metaphor; procedures for fair cake-cutting can be used to divide various kinds of resources, such as land estates, advertisement space or broadcast time. The prototypical procedure for fair cake-cutting is divide and choose, which is mentioned in the book of Genesis to resolve Abraham and Lot's conflict. This procedure ...

  3. Divide and choose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_choose

    Divide and choose (also Cut and choose or I cut, you choose) is a procedure for fair division of a continuous resource, such as a cake, between two parties. It involves a heterogeneous good or resource ("the cake") and two partners who have different preferences over parts of the cake (both want as much of it as possible).

  4. Last diminisher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_diminisher

    It was the first example of a continuous procedure in fair division. The knife is passed over the cake from the left end to the right. Any player may say stop when they think / of the cake is to the left of the knife, the cake is cut and the player who spoke gets that piece. Repeat with the remaining cake and players, the last player gets the ...

  5. Truthful cake-cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthful_cake-cutting

    There is a trivial randomized truthful mechanism for fair cake-cutting: select a single agent uniformly at random, and give him/her the entire cake. This mechanism is trivially truthful because it asks no questions. Moreover, it is fair in expectation: the expected value of each partner is exactly 1/n. However, the resulting allocation is not fair.

  6. Moving-knife procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving-knife_procedure

    The simplest example is a moving-knife equivalent of the "I cut, you choose" scheme, first described by A.K.Austin as a prelude to his own procedure: [2] One player moves the knife across the cake, conventionally from left to right. The cake is cut when either player calls "stop", when he or she perceives the knife to be at the 50-50 point.

  7. Symmetric fair cake-cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_fair_cake-cutting

    Symmetric fair cake-cutting is a variant of the fair cake-cutting problem, in which fairness is applied not only to the final outcome, but also to the assignment of roles in the division procedure. As an example, consider a birthday cake that has to be divided between two children with different tastes, such that each child feels that his/her ...

  8. Even–Paz protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even–Paz_protocol

    The Even–Paz algorithm is an computationally-efficient algorithm for fair cake-cutting.It involves a certain heterogeneous and divisible resource, such as a birthday cake, and n partners with different preferences over different parts of the cake.

  9. Edmonds–Pruhs protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmonds–Pruhs_protocol

    Edmonds–Pruhs protocol is a protocol for fair cake-cutting.Its goal is to create a partially proportional division of a heterogeneous resource among n people, such that each person receives a subset of the cake which that person values as at least 1/an of the total, where is some sufficiently large constant.
