We study the problem of finding solutions to the stable matching problem that are robust to errors in the input and we obtain a polynomial time algorithm for a special class of errors. In the process, we also initiate work on a new structural question concerning the stable matching problem, namely finding relationships between the lattices of solutions of two "nearby" instances.
Our main algorithmic result is the following: We identify a polynomially large class of errors, $D$, that can be introduced in a stable matching instance. Given an instance $A$ of stable matching, let $B$ be the random variable that represents the instance that results after introducing {\em one} error from $D$, chosen via a given discrete probability distribution. The problem is to find a stable matching for $A$ that maximizes the probability of being stable for $B$ as well. Via new structural properties of the type described in the question stated above, we give a combinatorial polynomial time algorithm for this problem.
We also show that the set of robust stable matchings for instance $A$, under probability distribution $p$, forms a sublattice of the lattice of stable matchings for $A$. We give an efficient algorithm for finding a succinct representation for this set; this representation has the property that any member of the set can be efficiently retrieved from it.
