lists actions to be performed by the players in terms of the visible data and their valuations. A valid procedure is one that guarantees a fair division for every player who acts rationally according to their valuation. Where an action depends on a player's valuation the procedure is describing the

a rational player will follow. A player may act as if a piece had a different value but must be consistent. For instance if a procedure says the first player cuts the cake in two equal parts then the second player chooses a piece, then the first player cannot claim that the second player got more.

No finite protocol (even if unbounded) can guarantee an envy-free division of a cake among three or more players, if each player is to receive a single connected piece. However, this result applies only to the model presented in that work and not for cases where, for example, a mediator has full

may be an infinite set representing a divisible resource, for example: money, or a cake. Mathematically, a divisible resource is often modeled as a subset of a real space, for example, the section may represent a long narrow cake, that has to be cut into parallel pieces. The

Based on these subjective value functions, there are a number of widely used criteria for a fair division. Some of these conflict with each other but often they can be combined. The criteria described here are only for when each player is entitled to the same amount:

division means every person feels exactly the same happiness, i.e. the proportion of the cake a player receives by their own valuation is the same for every player. This is a difficult aim as players need not be truthful if asked their valuation:
1258:, i.e. it should be a dominant strategy for the participants to report their true valuations. This requirement is usually very hard to satisfy, especially in combination with fairness and Pareto-efficiency. As a result, it is often weakened to 77:. It demonstrates that two agents with different tastes can divide a cake such that each of them believes that he got the best piece. The research in fair division can be seen as an extension of this procedure to various more complex settings. 80:
There are many different kinds of fair division problems, depending on the nature of goods to divide, the criteria for fairness, the nature of the players and their preferences, and other criteria for evaluating the quality of the division.

In the real world people sometimes have a very accurate idea of how the other players value the goods and they may care very much about it. The case where they have complete knowledge of each other's valuations can be modeled by

A major part of the practical side of fair division is the devising and study of procedures that work well despite such partial knowledge or small mistakes. 1200:. If different participants have different entitlements (e.g., in a partnership where each partner invested a different amount), then the fairness criteria should be adapted accordingly.

In his book he says a special three-person version of fair division was devised by G. Krochmainy in Berdechów in 1944 and another by Mrs L Kott. 1224:. A division where one player gets everything is optimal by this definition so on its own this does not guarantee even a fair share. See also 2161: 2030: 1872: 1806: 1790: 3060: 283: 62:. The central tenet of fair division is that such a division should be performed by the players themselves, without the need for external 2877: 2412: 2210: 2123: 1455:

The theory of fair division dates back only to the end of the second world war. It was devised by a group of

Most of what is normally called a fair division is not considered so by the theory because of the use of
2220: 2134: 729: 2661: 2646: 1262:, which only requires players to report their true valuations if they behave according to a specified 3228: 2995: 2980: 2867: 2862: 2766: 2751: 2716: 2681: 2280: 2225: 2147: 2129: 2045: 1562: 1523: 1402: 387: 55: 39: 578:. Often the functions are assumed to be normalized, so that every person values the empty set as 0 ( 3152: 2771: 2721: 2558: 2485: 2465: 2322: 2205: 1552: 1547: 1477: 1443: 1419: 1328:
