Confidently Cutting a Cake into Approximately Fair Pieces
We give a randomized protocol for the classic cake cutting problem that guarantees approximate proportional fairness, and with high probability uses a linear number of cuts.

On the advantage over a random assignment
: We initiate the study of a new measure of approximation. This measure compares the performance of an approximation algorithm to the random assignment algorithm. This is a useful ...
