A survey of mass partitions

E Roldán-Pensado, P Soberón - Bulletin of the American Mathematical …, 2022 - ams.org
Mass partition problems describe the partitions we can induce on a family of measures or
finite sets of points in Euclidean spaces by dividing the ambient space into pieces. In this …

Constant inapproximability for PPA

The complexity of sharing a pizza

P Schnider - arxiv preprint arxiv:2109.06752, 2021 - arxiv.org
Assume you have a 2-dimensional pizza with $2 n $ ingredients that you want to share with
your friend. For this you are allowed to cut the pizza using several straight cuts, and then …

Pizza sharing is PPA-hard

A Deligkas, J Fearnley, T Melissourgos - Proceedings of the AAAI …, 2022 - ojs.aaai.org
We study the computational complexity of computing solutions for the straight-cut and
square-cut pizza sharing problems. We show that finding an approximate solution is PPA …

Ham-sandwich cuts and center transversals in subspaces

P Schnider - Discrete & Computational Geometry, 2020 - Springer
Abstract The Ham-Sandwich theorem is a well-known result in geometry. It states that any d
mass distributions in R^ d R d can be simultaneously bisected by a hyperplane. The result is …

Computational Complexity of the -Ham-Sandwich Problem

MK Chiu, A Choudhary, W Mulzer - arxiv preprint arxiv:2003.09266, 2020 - arxiv.org
The classic Ham-Sandwich theorem states that for any $ d $ measurable sets in $\mathbb

Lifting methods in mass partition problems

P Soberón, Y Takahashi - International Mathematics Research …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Many results about mass partitions are proved by lifting to a higher-dimensional space and
dividing the higher-dimensional space into pieces. We extend such methods to use lifting …
