Stable marriage problem
(Redirected from Gale-Shapley algorithm)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Solve the Stable marriage problem using the Gale/Shapley algorithm.
Problem description
Given an equal number of men and women to be paired for marriage, each man ranks all the women in order of his preference and each woman ranks all the men in order of her preference.
A stable set of engagements for marriage is one where no man prefers a woman over the one he is engaged to, where that other woman also prefers that man over the one she is engaged to. I.e. with consulting marriages, there would be no reason for the engagements between the people to change.
Gale and Shapley proved that there is a stable set of engagements for any set of preferences and the first link above gives their algorithm for finding a set of stable engagements.
Task Specifics
Given ten males:
abe, bob, col, dan, ed, fred, gav, hal, ian, jon
And ten females:
abi, bea, cath, dee, eve, fay, gay, hope, ivy, jan
And a complete list of ranked preferences, where the most liked is to the left:
abe: abi, eve, cath, ivy, jan, dee, fay, bea, hope, gay bob: cath, hope, abi, dee, eve, fay, bea, jan, ivy, gay col: hope, eve, abi, dee, bea, fay, ivy, gay, cath, jan dan: ivy, fay, dee, gay, hope, eve, jan, bea, cath, abi ed: jan, dee, bea, cath, fay, eve, abi, ivy, hope, gay fred: bea, abi, dee, gay, eve, ivy, cath, jan, hope, fay gav: gay, eve, ivy, bea, cath, abi, dee, hope, jan, fay hal: abi, eve, hope, fay, ivy, cath, jan, bea, gay, dee ian: hope, cath, dee, gay, bea, abi, fay, ivy, jan, eve jon: abi, fay, jan, gay, eve, bea, dee, cath, ivy, hope abi: bob, fred, jon, gav, ian, abe, dan, ed, col, hal bea: bob, abe, col, fred, gav, dan, ian, ed, jon, hal cath: fred, bob, ed, gav, hal, col, ian, abe, dan, jon dee: fred, jon, col, abe, ian, hal, gav, dan, bob, ed eve: jon, hal, fred, dan, abe, gav, col, ed, ian, bob fay: bob, abe, ed, ian, jon, dan, fred, gav, col, hal gay: jon, gav, hal, fred, bob, abe, col, ed, dan, ian hope: gav, jon, bob, abe, ian, dan, hal, ed, col, fred ivy: ian, col, hal, gav, fred, bob, abe, ed, jon, dan jan: ed, hal, gav, abe, bob, jon, col, ian, fred, dan
- Use the Gale Shapley algorithm to find a stable set of engagements
- Perturb this set of engagements to form an unstable set of engagements then check this new set for stability.

Groovy
(more or less) Uses explicit maps for preference ranking rather than list position. Uses Man and Woman enumerated types instead of string names, in order to take advantage of compile time type and constant checking to help keep the playas straight without a scorecard.
"Stable Matching" Solution:

import static Woman.*

while(freeGuys) {
Man thisGuy = freeGuys[0]
freeGuys -= thisGuy
List<Woman> guyChoices = Woman.values().sort{ she -> - guysGalRanking[thisGuy][she] }
for(Woman girl in guyChoices) {
if(! engagedTo[girl]) {

if (galsGuyRanking[girl][thisGuy] > galsGuyRanking[girl][thatGuy]) {
engagedTo[girl] = thisGuy

Haskell
The solution
The Gale/Shapley algorithm is formulated via iterative changing of the state. In Haskell it is possible to implement this approach by pure function iterations.
The state here consists of the list of free guys and associative preferences lists for guys and girls correspondingly. In order to simplify the access to elements of the state we use lenses.
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
import Lens.Micro
import Lens.Micro.TH
import Data.List (union, delete)
type Preferences a = (a, [a])
type Couple a = (a,a)
data State a = State { _freeGuys :: [a]
, _guys :: [Preferences a]
, _girls :: [Preferences a]}
makeLenses ''State
Lenses allow us to get access to each person in the state, and even to the associated preference list:
name n = lens get set
where get = head . dropWhile ((/= n).fst)
set assoc (_,v) = let (prev, _:post) = break ((== n).fst) assoc
in prev ++ (n, v):post
fianceesOf n = guys.name n._2
fiancesOf n = girls.name n._2
Note that in following we use lens operators:
^. -- access to a field %~ -- modification of a field .~ -- setting a field the value
Further we use a trick: guys list girls in a descending order of preference (the most liked is the first), while girls expect guys in opposite order -- the most liked is the last. In any case, we assume that the current best choice for guys and for girls is expected to appear on the top of their preference lists.
With these tools and notes we are ready to implement the Gale/Shapley algorithm and the stability test as they are given in a textbook:
stableMatching :: Eq a => State a -> [Couple a]
stableMatching = getPairs . until (null._freeGuys) step
where
getPairs s = map (_2 %~ head) $ s^.guys
step :: Eq a => State a -> State a
step s = foldl propose s (s^.freeGuys)
where
propose s guy =
let girl = s^.fianceesOf guy & head
bestGuy : otherGuys = s^.fiancesOf girl
modify
| guy == bestGuy = freeGuys %~ delete guy
| guy `elem` otherGuys = (fiancesOf girl %~ dropWhile (/= guy)) .
(freeGuys %~ guy `replaceBy` bestGuy)
| otherwise = fianceesOf guy %~ tail
in modify s
replaceBy x y [] = []
replaceBy x y (h:t) | h == x = y:t
| otherwise = h:replaceBy x y t
unstablePairs :: Eq a => State a -> [Couple a] -> [(Couple a, Couple a)]
unstablePairs s pairs =
[ ((m1, w1), (m2,w2)) | (m1, w1) <- pairs
, (m2,w2) <- pairs
, m1 /= m2
, let fm = s^.fianceesOf m1
, elemIndex w2 fm < elemIndex w1 fm
, let fw = s^.fiancesOf w2
, elemIndex m2 fw < elemIndex m1 fw ]
This solution works not only for strings, but for any equable data.
The task
Here are the given preferences:
guys0 =
[("abe", ["abi", "eve", "cath", "ivy", "jan", "dee", "fay", "bea", "hope", "gay"]),
("bob", ["cath", "hope", "abi", "dee", "eve", "fay", "bea", "jan", "ivy", "gay"]),

The initial state:
s0 = State (fst <$> guys0) guys0 ((_2 %~ reverse) <$> girls0)
And the solution:
λ> let pairs = stableMatching s0
λ> mapM_ print pairs
("abe","ivy")
("bob","cath")
("col","dee")
("dan","fay")
("ed","jan")
("fred","bea")
("gav","gay")
("hal","eve")
("ian","hope")
("jon","abi")
λ> unstablePairs s0 pairs
[]
Lets' make some perturbations: swap fiancees of abe and bob:
λ> let fiance n = name n._2
λ> let pairs' = pairs & (fiance "abe" .~ "cath") & (fiance "bob" .~ "ivy")
λ> mapM_ print $ unstablePairs s0 pairs'
(("bob","ivy"),("abe","cath"))
(("bob","ivy"),("dan","fay"))
(("bob","ivy"),("fred","bea"))
(("bob","ivy"),("ian","hope"))
(("bob","ivy"),("jon","abi"))

For most of this, males and females are both represented by indices. Rows of Mprefs are indexed by a male index and each contains a list female indices, in priority order. Rows of Fprefs are indexed by a female index and each contains a list male indices in priority order. These indices select the corresponding names from GuyNames and GalNames.
In matchMake (and propose), engaged identifies the gal each guy is engaged to (or _ if that guy is not engaged). And, fallback identifies the column which has the next gal, in Mprefs, for that guy to propose to.

matchMake ''

As an aside, note that the guys fared much better than the gals here, with over half of the guys getting their first preference and only one gal getting her first preference. The worst match for any guy was fourth preference where the worst for any gal was seventh preference.
