  • Abstract
    In this paper we consider a sex-fair matching in the stable marriage problem. The sex-fair stable matching defined in this paper has a property that the sum of the partner´s rank of each man in his preference list is as close as possible to the sum of the partner´s rank of each woman in her preference list. We transform the sex-fair marriage problem into a graph problem which is suitable for a genetic algorithm. We propose a genetic algorithm for the sex-fair stable matching. The transformation into the graph problem makes application of the GA easier and effective. Computer experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed genetic algorithm
