Successful Manipulation in Stable Marriage Model with Complete Preference Lists
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with a strategic issue in the stable marriage model with complete preference lists (i.e., a preference list of an agent is a permutation of all the members of the opposite sex). Given complete preference lists of nmen over n women, and a marriage μ, we consider the problem for finding preference lists of n women over n men such that the men-proposing deferred acceptance algorithm (Gale-Shapley algorithm) adopted to the lists produces μ. We show a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a set of preference lists of women over men. Our condition directly gives an O(n) time algorithm for finding a set of preference lists, if it exists.

An Empirical Study of the Stable Marriage Problem with Ties and Incomplete Lists
We present the first complete algorithm for the SMTI problem, the stable marriage problem with ties and incomplete lists. We do this in the form of a constraint programming encoding of the problem. With this we are able to carry out the first empirical study of the complete solution of SMTI instances. In the stable marriage problem (SM) [5] we have men and women. Each man ranks the women, givin...
متن کاملStable Marriage with Ties and Unacceptable Partners
An instance of the classical stable marriage problem involves n men and n women, and each person ranks all n members of the opposite sex in strict order of preference. The effect of allowing ties in the preference lists has been investigated previously, and three natural definitions of stability arise. In this paper, we extend this study by allowing a preference list to involve ties and/or be i...
متن کاملStable Marriage Problem with Ties and Incomplete bounded length preference list under social stability
We consider a variant of socially stable marriage problem where preference lists may be incomplete, may contain ties and may have bounded length. In real world application like NRMP and Scottish medical matching scheme such restrictions arise very frequently where set of agents (man/woman) is very large and providing a complete and strict order preference list is practically in-feasible. In pre...
متن کاملFast distributed almost stable marriages
In their seminal work on the Stable Marriage Problem, Gale and Shapley [3] describe an algorithm which finds a stable marriage in O(n) communication rounds. Their algorithm has a natural interpretation as a distributed algorithm where each player is represented by a single processor. The complexity measure of such a distributed algorithm is typically measured by the round complexity, assuming a...
متن کاملStability, Optimality and Manipulation in Matching Problems with Weighted Preferences
The stable matching problem (also known as the stable marriage problem) is a well-known problem of matching men to women, so that no man and woman, who are not married to each other, both prefer each other. Such a 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....
