加权随机流行匹配

Weighted Random Popular Matchings

Toshiya Itoh, Osamu Watanabe

摘要:

对于n个申请者的集合A和m个项目的集合I,我们考虑计算申请者与项目的匹配的问题,即,函数M将A映射到I;这里我们假设每个申请人$x \in A$提供I中项目的偏好列表。如果p在其偏好列表中位于比q更高的位置,则我们说申请人$x \in A$偏好项目p而不是项目q,并且如果x偏好M(x)而不是M '(x),则我们说x偏好匹配的M而不是匹配的M'。对于给定的匹配问题A、I和偏好列表,如果偏好M而不是M '的申请者的数量大于偏好M'而不是M的申请者的数量,则我们说M比M'更受欢迎,并且如果没有其他匹配比M更受欢迎,则M被称为受欢迎匹配。这里,我们考虑A被划分为$A_{1},A_{2},...,A_{k}$,并且每个$A_{i}$被分配权重$w_{i}>0$,使得w_{1} > w_{2} >..> w_{k} >0 $. For such a matching problem, we say that M is more popular than M' if the total weight of applicants preferring M over M' is larger than that of applicants preferring M' over M, and we call M an k-weighted popular matching if there is no other matching that is more popular than M. In this paper, we analyze the 2-weighted matching problem, and we show that (lower bound) if $ m/n^{4/3}=o(1)$, then a random instance of the 2-weighted matching problem with $ w_{1} \geq 2 w_{2} $ has a 2-weighted popular matching with probability o(1); and (upper bound) if $ n^{4/3}/m = o(1)$, then a random instance of the 2-weighted matching problem with $ w_{1} \geq 2 w_{2} $具有概率为1-o(1)的2加权流行匹配。

英文摘要:

For a set A of n applicants and a set I of m items, we consider a problem of computing a matching of applicants to items, i.e., a function M mapping A to I; here we assume that each applicant $x \in A$ provides a preference list on items in I. We say that an applicant $x \in A$ prefers an item p than an item q if p is located at a higher position than q in its preference list, and we say that x prefers a matching M over a matching M' if x prefers M(x) over M'(x). For a given matching problem A, I, and preference lists, we say that M is more popular than M' if the number of applicants preferring M over M' is larger than that of applicants preferring M' over M, and M is called a popular matching if there is no other matching that is more popular than M. Here we consider the situation that A is partitioned into $A_{1},A_{2},...,A_{k}$, and that each $A_{i}$ is assigned a weight $w_{i}>0$ such that w_{1}>w_{2}>...>w_{k}>0$. For such a matching problem, we say that M is more popular than M' if the total weight of applicants preferring M over M' is larger than that of applicants preferring M' over M, and we call M an k-weighted popular matching if there is no other matching that is more popular than M. In this paper, we analyze the 2-weighted matching problem, and we show that (lower bound) if $m/n^{4/3}=o(1)$, then a random instance of the 2-weighted matching problem with $w_{1} \geq 2w_{2}$ has a 2-weighted popular matching with probability o(1); and (upper bound) if $n^{4/3}/m = o(1)$, then a random instance of the 2-weighted matching problem with $w_{1} \geq 2w_{2}$ has a 2-weighted popular matching with probability 1-o(1).
