The Stable Matching Problem is Wes Chao&rsquo;s favourite algorithm.
Consider two populations, \(A\) and \(B\), who want to form paired relationships between a person \(A\) and \(B\). \(A_i\) has a list of their ranked order matches (I want to be paired with \(B_1\) most, \(B_4\) second, etc.), and so does \(B_i\) (I want to be paired with \(A_4\) most \(A_9\) second, etc.)
We want to discover a stable matching, where pairs are most unwilling to move. We can solve it using the stable matching algorithm.

extensions to the stable matching problem the stable matching problem can be extended to the rural hospitals problem, which is slightly better.
