Detecting minors in matroids through triangles
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note we investigate some matroid minor structure results. In particular, we present sufficient conditions, in terms of triangles, for a matroid to have either U2,4 or F7 or M(K5) 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...

There are exactly seven excluded minors for the class of GF(4){representable matroids. Note: The research for this paper was carried out under the PNA1.1-project P&BS of CWI, while J.F. Geelen and A. Kapoor visited the CWI in Amsterdam with nancial support from EIDMA.

This paper studies structural aspects of lattice path matroids, a class of transversal matroids that is closed under taking minors and duals. Among the basic topics treated are direct sums, duals, minors, circuits, and connected flats. One of the main results is a characterization of lattice path matroids in terms of fundamental flats, which are special connected flats from which one can recove...
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 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...
