Plymouth (software)
History Its development began in May 2007 and is being carried out under the leadership of Ray Strode. However, there was little support for this project until early 2008, when the decision to introduce Plymouth into Fedora 10 gave a boost to the development, which is now in full bloom. Since then, Plymouth has been in...

Gale–Shapley algorithm
In mathematics, economics, and computer science, the Gale–Shapley algorithm (also known as the deferred acceptance algorithm or propose-and-reject algorithm) is an algorithm for finding a solution to the stable matching problem, named for David Gale and Lloyd Shapley who had described it as solving both the college adm...

Gale–Shapley algorithm
The stable matching problem, in its most basic form, takes as input equal numbers of two types of participants ( men and women, or medical students and internships, for example), and an ordering for each participant giving their preference for whom to be matched to among the participants of the other type. A stable ...

Gale–Shapley algorithm
In 1962, David Gale and Lloyd Shapley proved that, for any equal number of men and women, it is always possible to solve the SMP and make all marriages stable. They presented an algorithm to do so. In 1984, Alvin E. Roth observed that essentially the same algorithm had already been in practical use since the early 1950...

Gale–Shapley algorithm
The Gale–Shapley algorithm involves a number of "rounds" (or "iterations"): In the first round, first a) each unengaged man proposes to the woman he prefers most, and then b) each woman replies "maybe" to her suitor she most prefers and "no" to all other suitors. She is then provisionally "engaged" to the suitor she m...

The runtime complexity of this algorithm is where is the number of men or women. Since the input preference lists also have size proportional to , the runtime is linear in the input size. This algorithm guarantees that:

Everyone gets married At the end, there cannot be a man and a woman both unengaged, as he must have proposed to her at some point (since a man will eventually propose to everyone, if necessary) and, being proposed to, she would necessarily be engaged (to someone) thereafter. The marriages are stable Let Alice and Bo...

Algorithm algorithm stable_matching is Initialize m ∈ M and w ∈ W to free while ∃ free man m who has a woman w to propose to do w := first woman on m's list to whom m has not yet proposed if ∃ some pair (m', w) then if w prefers m to m' then m' becomes free ...

Gale–Shapley algorithm
The existence of different stable matchings raises the question: which matching is returned by the Gale-Shapley algorithm? Is it the matching better for men, for women, or the intermediate one? In the above example, the algorithm converges in a single round on the men-optimal solution because each woman receives exactl...

Gale–Shapley algorithm
This is a general fact: the Gale-Shapley algorithm in which men propose to women always yields a stable matching that is the best for all men and worst for all women among all stable matchings. Similarly, if the women propose then the resulting matching is the best for all women and worst for all men among all stable m...

Gale–Shapley algorithm
To see this, consider the illustration at the right. Let A be the matching generated by the men-proposing algorithm, and B an alternative stable matching that is better for at least one man, say m0. Suppose m0 is matched in B to a woman w1, which he prefers to his match in A. This means that in A, m0 has visited w1, bu...
