Sep 10, 2014 at 18:05 comment added kcrisman Correct, see here for example. The CS literature and the Notices are both prominent places using this terminology, all of which can be properly defined.
Sep 10, 2014 at 17:57 comment added Erel Segal-Halevi @StefanKohl I am asking a question about a research paper published in the American Mathematical Monthly, from which the text was copied. It is quite common in the cake-cutting literature to formulate problems in this informal way.

Sep 10, 2014 at 16:01 comment added Stefan Kohl I think you should leave the cake, the knives, the envy and the other physical setup away, and formulate this as a purely mathematical question. Asking readers to reconstruct the mathematical problem from your text is not nice in my opinion.

Sep 10, 2014 at 11:11 comment added Erel Segal-Halevi Yes. Alternatively, the issue is about "adversarial players" - players whose only goal is to harm the third player. I am asking whether the protocol is safe against such adversarial behaviour.
Sep 10, 2014 at 10:54 comment added Włodzimierz Holsztyński Erel, thank you for explaining your Question. Thus the whole issue is about the players which act funny :-)
