A sufficient condition for uniqueness is identified on the preferences in the marriage problem, i.e. two-sided one-to-one matching with non transferable utility. For small economies this condition is also necessary. This class of preferences is broad and they are of particular relevance in economic applications.  2000 Elsevier Science S.A.

We define the median stable matching for two-sided matching markets with wages and prove constructively that it exists. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Numbers: C71, C78.

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 algorit...

The stable marriage problem is that of matching n men and n women, each of whom has ranked the members of the opposite sex in order of preference, so that no unmatched couple both prefer each other to their partners under the matching. At least one stable matching exists for every stable marriage instance, and efficient algorithms for finding such a matching are well known. The stable roommates...

Eastern boundary currents are often described as 'wasp-waist' ecosystems in which one or few mid-level forage species support a high diversity of larger predators that are highly susceptible to fluctuations in prey biomass. The assumption of wasp-waist control has not been empirically tested in all such ecosystems. This study used stable isotope analysis to test the hypothesis of wasp-waist con...

This work introduces the class of generalized tempered stable processes which encompass variations on tempered stable processes that have been introduced in the field, including “modified tempered stable processes [8],” “layered stable processes [6],” and “Lamperti stable processes [3].” Short and long time behavior of GTS Lévy processes is characterized and the absolute continuity of GTS proce...
