The Mathematical Foundations of Bond Graphs-III. Matroid Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The cycle and co-cycle matroids of a bond graph are defined using chain group matroids derived,from the cycle and co-cycle vector spaces qf a bond graph. The relationship between these structures is investigated and various results are proved. A precise equivalence is dejined for bond graphs. Duality theory is seen to be very clear in the context of bond graph matroids.

متن کاملThe Mathematical Foundations of Bond Graphs-II. Duality
A discussion of duality continues the development of a mathematical theory for bond graphs as combinatorial structures. The dual of a bondgraph is de$ned and its associated vector spaces are the co-spaces of the original bond graph. The relationship between the algebraic structures and their duals is explored. The theory is used to justfy the construction of a simplified bond graph, the proper ...
متن کاملThe Mathematical Foundations of Bond Graphs-I. Algebraic Theory
Elementary mathematical concepts from linear algebra are used to develop an independent theory for non-directed bond graphs. The dejinition of a bond graph is given and its structure as a combinatorial object is studied. This is accomplished by constructing a vector space, called the bond space of the bond graph. Topological information is encoded in the bond graph by dejining a subspace of the...

متن کاملEnergy of Graphs, Matroids and Fibonacci Numbers
The energy E(G) of a graph G is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G. In this article we consider the problem whether generalized Fibonacci constants $varphi_n$ $(ngeq 2)$ can be the energy of graphs. We show that $varphi_n$ cannot be the energy of graphs. Also we prove that all natural powers of $varphi_{2n}$ cannot be the energy of a matroid.
