Résumé: Mini course on popular matchings, lecture 2
Description: Prof. Kavitha Telikepalli Lecture 2: Popular matchings and optimality.

In this talk we will consider algorithms for finding optimal popular matchings. While it is easy to find max-size popular matchings, it is NP-hard to find a min-cost popular matching. This motivates us to relax popularity to a weaker notion called "quasi-popularity". Describing the popular and quasi-popular matching polytopes is hard, but there is an easy-to-describe integral polytope sandwiched between these two hard ones. So we can efficiently find a quasi-popular matching of cost at most that of a min-cost popular matching.
