Cake sharing is a problem in social choice theory, in which a group of agents with different preferences has to choose together a subset of a heterogeneous divisible resource, such as time or space. They have a fixed budget, determining the maximum size of the subset that they can choose. Here are two examples.Time sharing: a group of people would like to have a party of two hours at Sunday. Each person has different preferences about what time the party should be at. They have to choose a subset of two hours, from the total available amount of 24 hours.
Space sharing: A group of people would like to build a new settlement of a given fixed size. Each person has different preferences regarding the location. They have to choose a subset of the given size, from the total region available for them.
