Question:
N men and N women were participating in a stable matching process in a small town named Walnut Grove. A stable matching was found after the matching process finished and everyone got engaged. However, a man named Almanzo Wilder, who is engaged with a woman named Nelly Oleson, suddenly changes his mind by preferring another woman named Laura Ingles, who was originally ranked right below Nelly in his preference list, therefore Laura and Nelly swapped their positions in Almanzos preference list. Your job now is to find a new match for all of these people and to take into account the new preference of Almanzo, but you don’t want to run the whole process from the beginning again and want to take advantage of the results you currently have from the previous matching. Describe your algorithm for this problem.
Assume that no woman gets offended if she got refused and then gets proposed by the same person again.
