The stable allocation problem is one of the broadest extensions of the well-known stable marriage problem. In an allocation problem, edges of a bipartite graph have capacities and vertices have quotas to fill. Here we investigate the case of uncoordinated processes in stable allocation...

We are given a bipartite graph G = (A B;E) where each vertex has a preference list ranking its neighbors: in particular, every a A ranks its neighbors in a strict order of preference, whereas the preference list of any b B may contain ties. A matching M is popular if there is no matching M' such...

We study a natural generalization of the maximum weight many-to-one matching problem. We are given an undirected bipartite graph G = (A P, E) with weights on the edges in E, and with lower and upper quotas on the vertices in P.We seek a maximum weight many-to-one matching satisfying two sets of...

Given a bipartite graph G=(A B, E) with strict preference lists and given an edge e E, we ask if there exists a popular matching in G that contains e. We call this the popular edge problem. A matching M is popular if there is no matching M' such that the vertices that prefer M' to M outnumber...
