Unilateral stability in matching problems
提出匹配问题中的单边稳定性概念,关注单个代理人主动接触其他配对成员是否破坏和谐,并引入禁忌、地位或权力等机制来限制此类行为以实现稳定。
The canonical solution concept used in matching problems is pairwise stability, whose premise is that harmony is disrupted by any two agents intentionally leaving their partners to be with each other. We instead focus on scenarios in which harmony is disrupted merely by a single agent unilaterally initiating contact with a member of a different pair, whether or not his approach is reciprocated. A variety of solution concepts are proposed in which taboos, status, or power systematically limit such initiatives in order to achieve harmony.
