Projects

Top Half Stable Matching Algorithm Implementation

GitHub Link: https://github.com/dkenniff/stable-matching
Implemented a variation of the Gale-Shapley algorithm to solve an instance of the stable matching problem where each individual can only be matched with an individual in the top half of their preference list.
Designed the variation of the algorithm as well as proved its correctness and conducted a runtime analysis to prove its polynomial time bound.
