An algorithm for a super-stable roommates problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe an efficient algorithm that decides if a stable matching exists for a generalized stable roommates problem, where, instead of linear preferences, agents have partial preference orders on potential partners. Furthermore, we may forbid certain partnerships, that is, we are looking for a matching such that none of the matched pairs is forbidden, and yet, no blocking pair (forbidden or not) exists. To solve the above problem, we generalize the first algorithm for the ordinary stable roommates problem.

The Stable Roommates Problem with Ties
We study the variant of the well-known Stable Roommates problem in which participants are permitted to express ties in their preference lists. In this setting, more than one definition of stability is possible. Here we consider two of these stability criteria, so-called super-stability and weak stability. We present a linear-time algorithm for finding a super-stable matching if one exists, give...
متن کاملEfficient algorithms for generalized Stable Marriage and Roommates problems
We consider a generalisation of the Stable Roommates problem (sr), in which preference lists may be partially ordered and forbidden pairs may be present, denoted by srpf. This includes, as a special case, a corresponding generalisation of the classical Stable Marriage problem (sm), denoted by smpf. By extending previous work of Feder, we give a two-step reduction from srpf to 2-sat. This has ma...
متن کاملA Generalization of the Stable Matching Problem
It is known that there may not exist any stable matching for a given instance of the stable roommates problem. A stable partition is a structure that generalizes the notion of a stable matching; Tan (1991) proved that every instance of the stable roommates problem contains at least one such structure. In this paper we propose a new algorithm for finding a stable partition, and hence a new algor...
متن کاملStable Roommates Spanner
We introduce a new geometric spanner whose construction is based on a generalization of the known Stable Roommates problem. The Stable Roommates Spanner combines the most desirable properties of geometric spanners: a natural definition, small degree, linear number of edges, strong (1 + ε)-spanner for every > 0, and an efficient construction algorithm. It is an improvement over the well-known Ya...
متن کاملBistable Versions of the Marriages and Roommates Problems
A stable matching for an instance of the stable marriages problem or the stable roommates problem is bistable if it is also a stable matching when the ordering of the input preference lists is reversed. For the stable marriages problem, it is shown that the bistable matchings are a sublattice of the distributive lattice of stable matchings. In addition, the Gale Shapley algorithm is modified to...
