<p>Looking for a reference on the observation that the set of stable matchings form a distributive lattice. This is attributed to Conway by Knuth in "Marriages Stables" but I would like an explicit reference if possible, likely a text book. An undergrad student needs it for his bibliography in a term paper.</p>

<p><strong>strong text</strong></p> <p>Conway discovered it when visiting Montreal contemporaneously to Knuth's lectures on the marriage problem. These lectures are in print, published by Centre de Recherche Math of Universite de Montreal.</p>
