Popular matchings and limits to tractability
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that deciding whether a popular matching exists in a bipartite or non-bipartite graph is NP-hard, and the same result holds if the popular matching is replaced with a dominant matching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basc: constrained approximation by semidefinite programming
Simon Foucart,Vladlena Powers +1 more
TL;DR: The theoretical grounds for a semidefinite-programming-based method that computes best approximants by splines under some general constraints and relative to several function norms, notably the max-norm are detailed.

Popular Matchings and Limits to Tractability
TL;DR: It is NP-complete to decide if $G$ admits a popular matching that is neither stable nor dominant, and a number of related hardness results, such as (tight) inapproximability of the maximum weight popular matching problem.

Understanding popular matchings via stable matchings.
TL;DR: It is shown that stable matchings can be employed not only to show positive results on popular matching (as is known), but also most negative ones, and how somenew and recent hardness results onpopular matching problems can be deduced from the NP-hardness of certain problems on stable matching problems is studied.

Popularity, stability, and the dominant matching polytope.
TL;DR: The first known complete description of the dominant matchingpolytope in the original space is given and it is given that it has an exponential number of facets (recall that the stable matching polytope has a linear number of facet).
