An Exponential Envy-Free Cake Cutting Protocol for $n$ Agents

Computational Complexity 2023-06-07 v1

Abstract

We consider a classical envy-free cake cutting problem. The first limited protocol was proposed by Aziz and McKenzie in 2016 arXiv:1604.03655. The disadvantage of this protocol is its high complexity. The authors proved that the maximum number of queries required by the protocol is nnnnnnn^{n^{n^{n^{n^n}}}}. We made minor changes to the Aziz-Mackenzie protocol, improved estimation of the required number of queries and made an algorithm that uses at most n8n2(1+o(1))n^{8n^2(1 + o(1))} queries.
