BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-89-1275 ENTRY:: January 05, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: A new approach to stable matching problems TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Subramanian, Ashok DATE:: August 1989 PAGES:: 37 ABSTRACT:: We show that Stable Matching problems are the same as problems about stable configurations of X-networks. Consequences include easy proofs of old theorems, a new simple algorithm for finding a stable matching, an understanding of the difference between Stable Marriage and Stable Roommates, NP-completeness of Three-party Stable Marriage, CC-completeness of several Stable Matching problems, and a fast parallel reduction from the Stable Marriage problem to the Assignment problem.
