Edmonds–Pruhs protocol : ウィキペディア英語版 | 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 ''a>1'' is a constant. It is a randomized algorithm whose running time is O(''n'') with probability close to 1. The protocol was developed by Jeff Edmonds and Kirk Pruhs, who later improved it in joint work with Jaisingh Solanki. == Motivation ==
A proportional division of a cake can be achieved using the recursive halving algorithm in time O(''n'' log ''n''). Several hardness results show that this run-time is optimal under a wide variety of assumptions. In particular, recursive halving is the fastest possible algorithm for achieving full proportionality when the pieces must be contiguous, and it is the fastest possible deterministic algorithm for achieving even partial proportionality and even when the pieces are allowed to be disconnected. One case which is not covered by the hardness results is the case of ''randomized algorithms'', guaranteeing only ''partial proportionality'' and with ''possibly disconnected pieces''. The Edmonds–Pruhs protocol aims to provide an algorithm with run-time O(''n'') for this case.
