PPAD-Completeness of Contiguous Envy-Free Cake Cutting with Additive Valuations

Yasushi Kawase, Bodhayan Roy, Mohammad Azharuddin Sanpui

We prove that computing a complete contiguous -envy-free cake allocation is PPAD-complete for normalized rational piecewise-constant additive valuations. The hardness…

Zero-Shot Object Removal via Attention Masking, Latent Anchoring, and Refinement

Arman Taghizadeh, Ulf Krumnack, Kai-Uwe Kühnberger

Removing an object from a real image requires more than synthesizing plausible content within a mask: the method must suppress residual object features, preserve the unedited scene…
