A Simply Exponential upper bound on the Number of Stable Matchings Oveis Gharan, Shayan

Description

We show that for any stable matching instance with n men and n women the number of stable matchings is at most C^n for some universal constant C>1. Our proof is based on a reduction to counting the number of downsets of a family of posets that we call mixing. This could be of independent interest in other counting applications. joint work with Anna Karlin and Robbie Weber
