Abstract

We improve the upper bound for the maximum possible number of stable matchings among n jobs and n applicants from 131072n+ O(1) to 3.55n+ O(1). To establish this bound, we state a novel formulation of a certain entropy bound that is easy to apply and may be of independent interest in counting other combinatorial objects.
