Abstract
A novel approach to the fair division problem is proposed, which is based on the concept of a priori estimates and ideas of dynamical systems theory. For several problems on the division of a resource with discrete components, this approach leads to explicit constructive solutions in cases for which even the existence of solutions has not been previously known.
