The stable matching problem, in its most basic form, takes as input equal numbers of two types of participants (n job applicants and n employers, for example), and an ordering for each participant giving their preference for whom to be matched to among the participants of the other type. A matching pairs each participant of one type with a ...
Prior to acceptance, an offer may be withdrawn. As acceptance must be communicated, the offeror cannot include an Acceptance by Silence clause. This was affirmed in Felthouse v Bindley, [36] here an uncle made an offer to buy his nephew's horse, saying that if he did not hear anything else he would "consider the horse mine". This did not stand ...
In addition, applications may also ask for previous employment information, educational background, emergency contacts, and references, as well as any special skills the applicant might have.

The principle of offer and acceptance has been codified under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. [28]
Harris v Nickerson (1873) LR 8 QB 286 is an English law case concerning the requirements of offer and acceptance in the formation of a contract.
