Since this specifies the Gale-ShapelyShapley algorithm, shouldn't that be the name of the task? Similar to how [[Lucas-Lehmer test]] finds Mersienne primes? --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:30, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
: Ah, your thinking logically. That's your problem! :-)
: Stable marriage problem is more often quoted than the algorithm used to solve it, although it looks like that algorithm is the only one used to solve the problem (apart from exhaustive search).

:: Created [[Gale-ShapelyShapley algorithm]] as a redirect to this task. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 14:34, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
::: An excellent solution I think! --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:06, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

The 2012 Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to Roth and Shapley for work that began with this algorithm. It seems the algorithm was the start of a new field called "market design" that goes far beyond marriage design, and that even the original Gale/Shapley algorithm has more general applications. —[[User:Sonia|Sonia]] 21:22, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

== OOP? ==
 
After looking at some of the solutions here, I noticed that there are several that used a language with OOP capabilities, but did not come up with an object-oriented solution. I'm not saying that's good or bad necessarily; but it would be interesting to see more solutions that go beyond translations of straight procedural logic. --[[User:MikeLorenz|Mike Lorenz]] 05:06, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

If you want you can add my PHP port of the Python version from: http://www.leaseweblabs.com/2013/04/stable-marriage-problem-in-php/
