Abstract

The topic of stable matchings (marriages) in bipartite graphs gained popularity beginning from the appearance of the classical Gale and Shapley work. In this paper, a detailed review of selected and other related statements in this field that describe structured, polyhedral, and algorithmic properties of such objects and their sets accompanied by short proofs is given.
