Abstract Popular Matchings (2008)

David J. Abraham, Robert W. Irving, Telikepalli Kavitha, Kurt Mehlhorn

We consider the problem of matching a set of applicants to a set of posts, where each applicant has a preference list, ranking a non-empty subset of posts in order of preference, possibly involving...

ABSTRACT Clearing Algorithms for Barter Exchange Markets: Enabling Nationwide Kidney Exchanges (2008)

David J. Abraham

In barter-exchange markets, agents seek to swap their items with one another, in order to improve their own utilities. These swaps consist of cycles of agents, with each agent receiving the item of...

The stable roommates problem with globally-ranked pairs (2007)

David J. Abraham, David J. Abraham, Ariel Levavi, Ariel Levavi, David F. Manlove, David F. Manlove

We introduce a restriction of the stable roommates problem in which roommate pairs are ranked globally. In contrast to the unrestricted problem, weakly stable matchings are guaranteed to exist, and...

Dynamic matching markets and voting paths (2006)

David J. Abraham, Telikepalli Kavitha

Abstract. We consider a matching market, in which the aim is to maintain a popular matching between a set of applicants and a set of posts, where each applicant has a preference list, that ranks some...

Almost stable” matchings in the roommates problem (2006)

David J. Abraham, Péter Biró, David F. Manlove

Abstract. An instance of the classical Stable Roommates problem (sr) need not admit a stable matching. This motivates the problem of finding a matching that is “as stable as possible”, i.e....

Pareto optimality in house allocation problems (2004)

David J. Abraham, Katarína Cechlárová, David F. Manlove, Kurt Mehlhorn

Abstract. We study Pareto optimal matchings in the context of house allocation problems. We present an O ( √ nm) algorithm, based on Gale’s Top Trading Cycles Method, for finding a maximum...

Rank-maximal matchings (2004)

David J. Abraham, Robert W. Irving, Telikepalli Kavitha, Kurt Mehlhorn

Abstract. We consider the problem of matching a set of applicants to a set of posts, where each applicant has a preference list, ranking a non-empty subset of posts in order of preference, possibly...

Rank-maximal matchings (2004)

David J. Abraham, Robert W. Irving, Telikepalli Kavitha, Kurt Mehlhorn

Abstract. We consider the problem of matching a set of applicants to a set of posts, where each applicant has a preference list, ranking a nonempty subset of posts in order of preference, possibly...

Two algorithms for the Student-Project allocation problem. Submitted to Journal of Discrete Algorithms (2004)

David J. Abraham, Robert W. Irving, David F. Manlove

Abstract. We study the Student-Project Allocation problem (SPA), a generalisation of the classical Hospitals / Residents problem (HR). An instance of SPA involves a set of students, projects and...

Rank-maximal matchings (2004)

David J. Abraham, Robert W. Irving, Telikepalli Kavitha, Kurt Mehlhorn

We consider the problem of matching a set of applicants to a set of posts, where each applicant ranks a non-empty subset of posts in an order of preference, possibly involving ties. We say that a...

Abstract. We study Pareto optimal matchings in the context of house allocation problems. We present an O ( √ nm) algorithm, based on Gale’s Top Trading Cycles Method, for finding a maximum...

Pericytes display increased CCN2 expression upon culturing

Shiwen, Xu, Rajkumar, Vineeth, Denton, Christopher P., Leask, Andrew, Abraham, David J.

By providing a source of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)-expressing myofibroblasts, microvascular pericytes contribute to the matrix remodeling that occurs during tissue repair. However, the extent...
