A Comparative Study of Stability Representations for Solving Many-to-One Matching Problems with Utility-Weighted Objectives, Ties, and Incomplete Lists via Integer Optimization

We consider integer optimization models for finding stable solutions to many-to-one, utility-weighted matching problems with incomplete preference lists and ties. While traditional algorithmic approaches for the stable many-to-one matching problem, such as the Deferred Acceptance algorithm, offer efficient performance for the strict problem setting, adaptation to alternative settings often requires careful customization. Optimization-based approaches are … Read more
