Abstract:
We improve the upper bound for the maximum possible number of stable matchings among n men and n women from $O(131072^n)$ to $O(4.47^n)$. To establish this bound, we develop a novel formulation of a probabilistic technique that is easy to apply and may be of independent interest in counting other combinatorial objects. Joint work with Cory Palmer.
