Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical We prove that an EFM allocation always exists for any number of agents. We also propose efficient algorithms to compute an EFM allocation for two agents and for n agents with piecewise linear valuations over the divisible goods. Finally, we relax the envy-free requirement, instead asking for ϵ-envyfreeness for mixed goods (ϵ-EFM), and present an algorithm that finds an ϵ-EFM allocation in time polynomial in the number of agents, the number of indivisible goods, and 1/ϵ.

Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statements about releasing source code for the described methodology, nor does it include links to any code repositories.
Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and focuses on algorithm design and existence proofs for abstract goods ('mixed divisible and indivisible goods', 'cake'), without using any specific real-world or public datasets for empirical evaluation.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not involve empirical experiments with datasets; therefore, no training, validation, or test dataset splits are provided.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and does not describe experimental hardware specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and does not specify software dependencies with version numbers relevant to experimental reproducibility.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and focuses on algorithm design and proofs, hence it does not include details on experimental setup or hyperparameters.
