The Gale-Shapley Algorithm as a brilliant example of the art of algorithm design
By Chirag Kaudan
The Gale-Shapley Algorithm not only masterfully and efficiently solves a problem (the Stable Matching Problem), but serves as a wonderful example of the process of algorithm design. I have written about this algorithm in my grad school apps, so this really does go beyond the algorithm itself for me. In this post I focus on not just the technicalities of...
