On Properties of Almost All Matroids
We give several results about the asymptotic behaviour of matroids. Specifically, almost all matroids are simple and cosimple and, indeed, are 3-connected. This verifies a strengthening of a conjecture of Mayhew, Newman, Welsh, and Whittle. We prove several quantitative results including giving bounds on the rank, a bound on the number of bases, the number of circuits, and the maximum circuit s...
متن کاملAlmost-Graphic Matroids
A nongraphic matroid M is said to be almost-graphic if, for all elements e, either M\e or M/e is graphic. We determine completely the class of almost-graphic matroids, thereby answering a question posed by Oxley in his book “Matroid Theory.” A nonregular matroid is said to be almost-regular if, for all elements e, either M\e or M/e is regular. An element e for which both M\e and M/e are regular...
متن کاملOn exchange properties for Coxeter matroids and oriented matroids
We introduce new basis exchange axioms for matroids and oriented matroids. These new axioms are special cases of exchange properties for a more general class of combinatorial structures, Coxeter matroids. We refer to them as “properties” in the more general setting because they are not all equivalent, as they are for ordinary matroids, since the Symmetric Exchange Property is strictly stronger ...
متن کاملProperties of Almost All Graphs and Generalized Quantifiers
We study 0-1 laws for extensions of first-order logic by Lindström quantifiers. We state sufficient conditions on a quantifier Q expressing a graph property, for the logic FO[Q] – the extension of first-order logic by means of the quantifier Q – to have a 0-1 law. We use these conditions to show, in particular, that FO[Rig], where Rig is the quantifier expressing rigidity, has a 0-1 law. We als...
متن کاملConnectivity Properties of Matroids
The bases-exchange graph of a matroid is the graph whose vertices are the bases of the matroid, and two bases are connected by an edge if and only if one can be obtained from the other by the exchange of a single pair of elements. In this paper we prove that a matroid is \connected" if and only if the \restricted bases-exchange graph" (the bases-exchange graph restricted to exchanges involving ...
