Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the problem of stable matching with hybrid preferences among the three agent sets U, \(V_1\) and \(V_2\). We consider two hybrid preferences. One is that the agents of set U has a strict preference to the agents of set \(V_1 \times V_2\), and the agents of set \(V_1\) and \(V_2\) have a strict preference to the agents of set U respectively. The other is that the agents of set U has a strict preference to the agents of set \(V_1 \times V_2\), and the agents of set \(V_1 \times V_2\) has a strict preference to the agents of set U.
