A357271 provides the best known lower bounds for the maximum number of stable matchings of order n.

A357269 provides exact results. (End)

Examples

			For n=2, there are 16 possible preference profiles: 14 of them generate one stable matching and 2 of them generate two stable matchings. Thus, a(2) = 2.
