چکیده

Let F 7 denote the Fano matroid and M be a simple connected binary matroid such that every cocircuit of M has size at least d 3. We show that if M does not have an F 7-minor, M 6 = F 7 , and d = 2 f5; 6; 7; 8g, then M has a circuit of size at least minfr(M) + 1; 2dg. We conjecture that the latter result holds for all d 3.

Spanning 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...

Odd circuits in dense binary matroids

The exclusion of odd circuits from a binary matroid here is natural. The geometric density Hales-Jewett theorem [3] implies that dense GF(q)representable matroids with sufficiently large rank necessarily contain arbitrarily large affine geometries over GF(q); these geometries contain circuits of every possible even cardinality when q= 2 and circuits of every possible cardinality when q>2. So de...
