Multi-Dimensional Stable Roommates in 2-Dimensional Euclidean Space

pdf-format:


Abstract

We investigate the Euclidean š–½-Dimensional Stable Roommates problem, which asks whether a given set V of š–½ā‹… n points from the 2-dimensional Euclidean space can be partitioned into n disjoint (unordered) subsets Ī  = {V₁,…,V_{n}} with |V_i| = š–½ for each V_i ∈ Ī  such that Ī  is {stable}. Here, {stability} means that no point subset W āŠ† V is blocking Ī , and W is said to be {blocking} Ī  if |W| = š–½ such that āˆ‘_{w' ∈ W}Ī“(w,w') < āˆ‘_{v ∈ Ī (w)}Ī“(w,v) holds for each point w ∈ W, where Ī (w) denotes the subset V_i ∈ Ī  which contains w and Ī“(a,b) denotes the Euclidean distance between points a and b. Complementing the existing known polynomial-time result for š–½ = 2, we show that such polynomial-time algorithms cannot exist for any fixed number š–½ ≄ 3 unless P=NP. Our result for š–½ = 3 answers a decade-long open question in the theory of Stable Matching and Hedonic Games [Iwama et al., 2007; Arkin et al., 2009; Vladimir G. Deineko and Gerhard J. Woeginger, 2013; Vladimir G. Deineko and Gerhard J. Woeginger, 2013; David F. Manlove, 2013].
