Minors of a Random Binary Matroid
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let A = An,m,k be a random n × m matrix over GF2 where each column consists of k randomly chosen ones. Let M be an arbirary fixed binary matroid. We show that if m/n and k are sufficiently large then as n → ∞ the binary matroid induced by A contains M as a minor.

On the Excluded Minors for the Matroids That Are Either Binary or Ternary
The classes of binary and ternary matroids are both relatively well understood as is their intersection, the class of regular matroids. This paper considers the union M of the classes of binary and ternary matroids. M is a minor-closed class and the focus of the paper is on determining its set of excluded minors. It is conjectured here that this set of excluded minors unique matroids that are o...
متن کاملCounting 2-connected deletion-minors of binary matroids
We introduce a new invariant for a binary matroid and use it to obtain upper bounds on the number of circuits and, more generally, the number of 2-connected deletion minors containing a fixed element of the matroid. We conjecture that this invariant can also be used to bound the modulus of the roots of the matroid’s characteristic polynomial.
متن کاملOn Representable Matroids Having Neither U2,5– Nor U3,5–minors
Consider 3–connected matroids that are neither binary nor ternary and have neither U2,5– nor U3,5–minors: for example, AG(3, 2)′, the matroid obtained by relaxing a circuit-hyperplane of AG(3, 2). The main result of the paper shows that no matroid of this sort is representable over any field. This result makes it possible to extend known characterisations of the binary and ternary matroids repr...
متن کاملThe excluded minors for the class of matroids that are binary or ternary
We show that the excluded minors for the class of matroids that are binary or ternary are U2,5, U3,5, U2,4⊕F7, U2,4⊕F ∗ 7 , U2,4⊕2F7, U2,4 ⊕2 F ∗ 7 , and the unique matroids obtained by relaxing a circuithyperplane in either AG(3, 2) or T12. The proof makes essential use of results obtained by Truemper on the structure of almost-regular matroids.
متن کاملThe Excluded Minors for GF(4)-Representable Matroids
The definitions of these matroids, with a summary of their interesting properties, can be found in the Appendix. Except for P"8 , they were all known to be excluded minors for GF(4)-representability (see Oxley [15, 17]). The matroid P"8 is obtained by relaxing the unique pair of disjoint circuit-hyperplanes of P8 . Ever since Whitney's introductory paper [28] on matroid theory, researchers have...
