Thickness and information in dynamic matching markets

M Akbarpour, S Li, SO Gharan - Journal of Political Economy, 2020 - journals.uchicago.edu
We introduce a simple model of dynamic matching in networked markets, where agents
arrive and depart stochastically and the composition of the trade network depends …

Failure-aware kidney exchange

JP Dickerson, AD Procaccia, T Sandholm - Proceedings of the fourteenth …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
Most algorithmic matches in fielded kidney exchanges do not result in an actual transplant.
In this paper, we address the problem of cycles and chains in a proposed match failing after …

Kidney exchange: An operations perspective

I Ashlagi, AE Roth - Management Science, 2021 - pubsonline.informs.org
Many patients in need of a kidney transplant have a willing but incompatible (or poorly
matched) living donor. Kidney exchange programs arrange exchanges among such patient …

Position-indexed formulations for kidney exchange

JP Dickerson, DF Manlove, B Plaut… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - dl.acm.org
A kidney exchange is an organized barter market where patients in need of a kidney swap
willing but incompatible donors. Determining an optimal set of exchanges is theoretically …

A literature review of perishable medical resource management

C Zhang, P Li, Q He, F Wang - Frontiers of Engineering Management, 2023 - Springer
In recent decades, healthcare providers have faced mounting pressure to effectively
manage highly perishable and limited medical resources. This article offers a …

Towards a unified theory of sparsification for matching problems

S Assadi, A Bernstein - arxiv preprint arxiv:1811.02009, 2018 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we present a construction of amatching sparsifier', that is, a sparse subgraph of
the given graph that preserves large matchings approximately and is robust to modifications …

The stochastic matching problem with (very) few queries

S Assadi, S Khanna, Y Li - ACM Transactions on Economics and …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
Motivated by an application in kidney exchange, we study the following stochastic matching
problem: We are given a graph G (V, E)(not necessarily bipartite), where each edge in E is …

Beating greedy for stochastic bipartite matching

B Gamlath, S Kale, O Svensson - Proceedings of the Thirtieth Annual ACM …, 2019 - SIAM
We consider the maximum bipartite matching problem in stochastic settings, namely the
query-commit and price-of-information models. In the query-commit model, an edge e …

An adversarial model for scheduling with testing

C Dürr, T Erlebach, N Megow, J Meißner - Algorithmica, 2020 - Springer
We introduce a novel adversarial model for scheduling with explorable uncertainty. In this
model, the processing time of a job can potentially be reduced (by an a priori unknown …

New algorithms for hierarchical optimization in kidney exchange programs

M Delorme, S García, J Gondzio… - Operations …, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
Many kidney exchange programs (KEPs) use integer linear programming (ILP) based on a
hierarchical set of objectives to determine optimal sets of transplants. We propose innovative …
