On the Complexity of Stable Fractional Hypergraph Matching

Authors: Takashi Ishizuka and Naoyuki Kamiyama

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the complexity of the problem of finding a stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system. Aharoni and Fleiner proved that there exists a stable fractional matching in every hypergraphic preference system. Furthermore, Kintali, Poplawski, Rajaraman, Sundaram, and Teng proved that the problem of finding a stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system is PPAD-complete. In this paper, we consider the complexity of the problem of finding a stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system whose maximum degree is bounded by some constant. The proof by Kintali, Poplawski, Rajaraman, Sundaram, and Teng implies the PPAD-completeness of the problem of finding a stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system whose maximum degree is 5. In this paper, we prove that (i) this problem is PPAD-complete even if the maximum degree is 3, and (ii) if the maximum degree is 2, then this problem can be solved in polynomial time. Furthermore, we prove that the problem of finding an approximate stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system is PPAD-complete.
