Legal Assignments and fast EADAM with consent via classical theory of stable matchings

3 code implementations • 23 Sep 2018 • Yuri Faenza, Xuan Zhang

We prove that ${\cal L}$ is exactly the set of stable assignments in another instance, and that essentially any optimization problem over ${\cal L}$ can be solved within the same time bound needed for solving them over the set of stable assignments.
