چکیده

The key to Seymour’s Regular Matroid Decomposition Theorem is his result that each 3-connected regular matroid with no R10or R12-minor is graphic or cographic. We present a proof of this in terms of signed graphs. 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 48: 74–84, 2005

Decomposition of Binary Signed-Graphic Matroids

In this paper we employ Tutte’s theory of bridges to derive a decomposition theorem for binary matroids arising from signed graphs. The proposed decomposition differs from previous decomposition results on matroids that have appeared in the literature in the sense that it is not based on k-sums, but rather on the operation of deletion of a cocircuit. Specifically, it is shown that certain minor...

Regular Matroids with Graphic Cocircuits

In this paper we examine the effect of removing cocircuits from regular matroids and we focus on the case in which such a removal always results in a graphic matroid. The first main result, given in section 3, is that a regular matroid with graphic cocircuits is signed-graphic if and only if it does not contain two specific minors. This provides a useful connection between graphic, regular and ...

The Regular Excluded Minors for Signed-Graphic Matroids

We show that the complete list of regular excluded minors for the class of signed-graphic matroids is M(G1), . . . ,M(G29), R15, R16. Here G1, . . . , G29 are the vertically 2-connected excluded minors for the class of projective-planar graphs.

OPTIMAL ANALYSIS OF NON-REGULAR GRAPHS USING THE RESULTS OF REGULAR MODELS VIA AN ITERATIVE METHOD

In this paper an efficient method is developed for the analysis of non-regular graphs which contain regular submodels. A model is called regular if it can be expressed as the product of two or three subgraphs. Efficient decomposition methods are available in the literature for the analysis of some classes of regular models. In the present method, for a non-regular model, first the nodes of th...
