Abstract

We derive a polynomial time algorithm to compute a stable solution in a mixed matching market from an auction procedure as presented by Eriksson and Karlander [5]. As a special case we derive an $\mathcal{O}(nm)$ algorithm for bipartite matching that does not seem to have appeared in the literature yet.
