Testing Substitutability of Weak Preferences (1201.0432v1)
Published 2 Jan 2012 in cs.GT and cs.DS
Abstract: In many-to-many matching models, substitutable preferences constitute the largest domain for which a pairwise stable matching is guaranteed to exist. In this note, we extend the recently proposed algorithm of Hatfield et al. [3] to test substitutability of weak preferences. Interestingly, the algorithm is faster than the algorithm of Hatfield et al. by a linear factor on the domain of strict preferences.
