On stable matchings and flows

Tamás Fleiner



Abstract

We describe a flow model that generalizes ordinary network flows the same way as stable matchings generalize the bipartite matching problem. We prove that there always exists a stable flow, generalize the lattice structure of stable marriages to stable flows and prove a flow extension of Pym's linking theorem.
