Matroid Secretary for Regular and Decomposable Matroids
In the matroid secretary problem we are given a stream of elements in random order and asked to choose a set of elements that maximizes the total value of the set, subject to being an independent set of a matroid given in advance. The difficulty comes from the assumption that decisions are irrevocable: if we choose to accept an element when it is presented by the stream then we can never get ri...
متن کاملStructure in minor-closed classes of matroids
This paper gives an informal introduction to structure theory for minorclosed classes of matroids representable over a fixed finite field. The early sections describe some historical results that give evidence that well-defined structure exists for members of such classes. In later sections we describe the fundamental classes and other features that necessarily appear in structure theory for mi...
متن کاملThe Highly Connected Matroids in Minor-closed Classes
For any minor-closed class of matroids over a fixed finite field, we state an exact structural characterization for the sufficiently connected matroids in the class. We also state a number of conjectures that might be approachable using the structural characterization. This paper is dedicated to James Oxley on the occasion of his 60th Birthday.
متن کاملGrowth rates of minor-closed classes of matroids
For a minor-closed class M of matroids, we let h(k) denote the maximum number of elements of a simple rank-k matroid in M. We prove that, if M does not contain all simple rank-2 matroids, then h(k) grows either linearly, quadratically, or exponentially.
متن کاملSecretary problem: graphs, matroids and greedoids
In the paper the generalisation of the well known"secretary problem"is considered. The aim of the paper is to give a generalised model in such a way that the chosen set of the possible best $k$ elements have to be independent of all rejected elements. This condition is formulated using the theory of greedoids and in their special cases -- matroids and antimatroids. Examples of some special case...
