文摘This paper studies,under substitutable and cardinal monotone preferences,the lattice structure of the set SePT of many-to-many pairwise-stable matchings.It proves that the selection matchings are increasing functions on SePT.This fact,along with a few auxiliary results,is then used to prove that SePT is a distributive lattice.The contribution of this paper is not new,but the alternative proof is interesting as it avoids the use of abstract lattice theory.
