Can we decide in polynomial time if a [[Stable matching#Preference system|preference system]] (without ties) has a [[Stable matching#Popular matching|popular matching]]?

It was shown by {{ColourA|Gupta, Misra, Saurabh, and Zehavi}} <ref name="Gu"/> and independently by {{ColourA|Faenza, Kavitha, Powers, and Zhang}} <ref name="FaKa"/> that the problem is NP-complete. This result was further strengthened by Cseh and Kavitha <ref name="CsKa"/> who showed that the problem remains hard in complete graphs, i.e. non-bipartite preference systems with complete lists.
