Pizza Sharing is PPA-hard

2020 
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-hard for the straight-cut problem, and PPA-complete for the square-cut problem, while finding an exact solution for the square-cut problem is FIXP-hard and in BU. Our PPA-hardness results apply even when all mass distributions are unions of non-overlapping squares, and our FIXP-hardness result applies even when all mass distributions are unions of weighted squares and right-angled triangles. We also show that decision variants of the square-cut problem are hard: we show that the approximate problem is NP-complete, and the exact problem is ETR-complete.
