an l-fuzzifying matroid is a pair (e, i), where i is a map from2e to l satisfying three axioms. in this paper, the notion of closure operatorsin matroid theory is generalized to an l-fuzzy setting and called l-fuzzifyingclosure operators. it is proved that there exists a one-to-one correspondencebetween l-fuzzifying matroids and their l-fuzzifying closure operators.

Matroids are important combinatorial structures and connect close-lywith graphs. Matroids and graphs were all generalized to fuzzysetting respectively. This paper tries to study  connections betweenfuzzy matroids and fuzzy graphs. For a given fuzzy graph, we firstinduce a sequence of matroids  from a sequence of crisp graph, i.e.,cuts of the fuzzy graph. A fuzzy matroid, named graph fuzzy matro...

Let two linear matroids have the same rank in matroid intersection. A maximum linear matroid intersection (maximum linear matroid parity set) is called a basic matroid intersection (basic matroid parity set), if its size is the rank of the matroid. We present that enumerating all basic matroid intersections (basic matroid parity sets) is in NC, provided that there are polynomial bounded basic m...

Last lecture we covered matroid intersection, and defined matroid union. In this lecture we review the definitions of matroid intersection, and then show that the matroid intersection polytope is TDI. This is Chapter 41 in Schrijver’s book. Next we review matroid union, and show that unlike matroid intersection, the union of two matroids is again a matroid. This material is largely contained in...

the aim of this paper is to study the categorical relations betweenmatroids, goetschel-voxman’s fuzzy matroids and shi’s fuzzifying matroids.it is shown that the category of fuzzifying matroids is isomorphic to that ofclosed fuzzy matroids and the latter is concretely coreflective in the categoryof fuzzy matroids. the category of matroids can be embedded in that offuzzifying matroids as a simul...

A coxeter matroid is a generalization of matroid, ordinary matroid being the case corresponding to the family of Coxeter groups An , which are isomorphic to the symmetric groups. A basic result in the subject is a geometric characterization of Coxeter matroid in terms of the matroid polytope, a result first stated by Gelfand and Serganova. This paper concerns properties of the matroid polytope....

A new matroid is introduced: this matroid is de0ned starting from any matroid and one of its bases, hence we call it base-matroid. Besides some properties of the base-matroid, a non-trivial algorithm for the solution of the related matroid optimization problem is presented. The new matroid has application in the 0eld of inverse combinatorial optimization problems. We discuss in detail the LP fo...

In this paper, we study flag structures of matroid base polytopes. We describe faces of matroid base polytopes in terms of matroid data, and give conditions for hyperplane splits of matroid base polytopes. Also, we show how the cd-index of a polytope can be expressed when a polytope is split by a hyperplane, and apply these to the cd-index of a matroid base polytope of a rank 2 matroid.
