摘要
For solvable roommate problems with strict preferences Diamantoudi et al. (Games Econ Behav 48: 18-28, 2004) show that for any unstable matching, there exists a finite sequence of successive myopic blocking pairs leading to a stable matching. In this paper, we define P-stable matchings associated with stable partitions and, by using a proposal-rejection procedure, generalize the previous result for the entire class of roommate problems.
