Abstract
- The article focuses on different cake cutting theories and calculate their optimum efficiency. It reports that the valuation of different parts of cakes is different for different players and the density functions are used to determine the efficiency. It highlights the use of 2 cuts and 3 cuts to cut a cake between 3 players to show fair division of indivisible goods.
