The exchange-stable marriage problem [PDF]
In this paper we consider instances of stable matching problems, namely the classical stable marriage (SM) and stable roommates (SR) problems and their variants. In such instances we consider a stability criterion that has recently been proposed, that of

A Note on the Uniqueness of Stable Marriage Matching
In this note we present some sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of a stable matching in the Gale-Shapley marriage classical model of even size. We also state the result on the existence of exactly two stable matchings in the marriage problem of odd

Faster and Simpler Approximation of Stable Matchings
We give a 3 2 -approximation algorithm for finding stable matchings that runs in O(m) time. The previous most well-known algorithm, by McDermid, has the same approximation ratio but runs in O(n3/2m) time, where n denotes the number of people andm ...

Multi-Attribute Crowdsourcing Task Assignment With Stability and Satisfactory
Recently, crowdsourcing applications for smart cities have become more and more popular due to its higher work efficiency and lower work costs. However, the reasonable task assignment is still one of the important challenges for crowdsourcing.

"Almost stable" matchings in the Roommates problem [PDF]
An instance of the classical Stable Roommates problem (SR) need not admit a stable matching. This motivates the problem of finding a matching that is “as stable as possible”, i.e. admits the fewest number of blocking pairs. In this paper we prove that,

Dynamically stable matching [PDF]
I introduce a stability notion,dynamic stability, for two‐sided dynamic matching markets where (i) matching opportunities arrive over time, (ii) matching is one‐to‐one, and (iii) matching is irreversible. The definition addresses two conceptual issues. First, since not all agents are available to match at the same time, one must establish which agents ...

`Sex-Equal' Stable Matchings [PDF]
This paper presents a solution concept that minimizes envy between groups 111 a bilateral matching market. This concept is designed to select stable matchings that are not men or women optimal. The idea is to compute the total number of women preferred by the men to their woman mates and the total number of men preferred by women to their mates in that

An efficient implementation of the Gale and Shapley "propose-and-reject" algorithm
We consider a version of the Hospitals/Residents problem which was first defined in 1962 by Gale and Shapley [9] under the name "College Admissions Problem". In particular, we consider the Firms/Candidates problem, where each Firm wishes to hire at least

Local Search Approaches in Stable Matching Problems
The stable marriage (SM) problem has a wide variety of practical applications, ranging from matching resident doctors to hospitals, to matching students to schools or, more generally, to any two-sided market.
