Unavoidable parallel minors of regular matroids
We prove that, for each positive integer k, every sufficiently large 3-connected regular matroid has a parallel minor isomorphic to M∗(K3,k), M(Wk), M(Kk), the cycle matroid of the graph obtained from K2,k by adding paths through the vertices of each vertex class, or the cycle matroid of the graph obtained from K3,k by adding a complete graph on the vertex class with three vertices.
متن کاملUnavoidable Parallel Minors and Series Minors of Regular Matroids
We prove that, for each positive integer k, every sufficiently large 3-connected regular matroid has a parallel minor isomorphic to M∗(K3,k), M(Wk), M(Kk), the cycle matroid of the graph obtained from K2,k by adding paths through the vertices of each vertex class, or the cycle matroid of the graph obtained from K3,k by adding a complete graph on the vertex class with three vertices.
متن کاملUnavoidable parallel minors of 4-connected graphs
A parallel minor is obtained from a graph by any sequence of edge contractions and parallel edge deletions. We prove that, for any positive integer k, every internally 4-connected graph of sufficiently high order contains a parallel minor isomorphic to a variation of K4,k with a complete graph on the vertices of degree k, the k-partition triple fan with a complete graph on the vertices of degre...
متن کاملThe excluded minors for near-regular matroids
In unpublished work, Geelen proved that a matroid is nearregular if and only if it has no minor isomorphic to U2,5, U3,5, F7, F ∗ 7 , F− 7 , (F − 7 ) ∗, AG(2, 3)\e, (AG(2, 3)\e)∗, ∆T (AG(2, 3)\e), or P8. We provide a proof of this characterization.
متن کاملSpanning cycles in regular matroids without M*(K5) minors
Catlin and Jaeger proved that the cycle matroid of a 4-edge-connected graph has a spanning cycle. This result can not be generalized to regular matroids as there exist infinitely many connected cographic matroids, each of which contains a M(K5) minor and has arbitrarily large cogirth, that do not have spanning cycles. In this paper, we proved that if a connected regular matroid without aM(K5)-m...
