Questions to think about
1) How do we specify preferences? Preference lists

2) Ratio of applicant vs employers 1:1

3) Formally what is an assignment? (perfect) matching

) Can an employer get assigned > 1 applicant? NO

5) Can an applicant have > 1 job? NO

How many employer/applicants in an applicants/employers preferences?


All of
them
) Can an employer have 0 assigned applicants? NO

8) Can an applicant have 0 jobs? NO


Lost in Notation….
