Excluding Kuratowski graphs and their duals from binary matroids

open access: yes, 2017
We consider some applications of our characterisation of the internally 4-connected binary matroids with no M(K3,3)-minor. We characterise the internally 4-connected binary matroids with no minor in some subset of {M(K3,3),M*(K3,3),M(K5),M*(K5)} that ...

Canonical Binary $$\Delta $$-Matroids

open access: yesGraphs and Combinatorics
The handle slide operation, originally defined for ribbon graphs, was extended to delta-matroids by I. Moffatt and E. Mphako-Bandab, who show that, using a delta-matroid analogue of handle slides, every binary delta-matroid in which the empty set is feasible can be written in a canonical form analogous to the canonical form for one-vertex maps on a ...

An introduction to coding sequences of graphs

open access: yes, 2016
In his pioneering paper on matroids in 1935, Whitney obtained a characterization for binary matroids and left a comment at end of the paper that the problem of characterizing graphic matroids is the same as that of characterizing matroids which ...

A polynomial-time algorithm for estimating the partition function of the ferromagnetic Ising model on a regular matroid

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate the computational difficulty of approximating the partition function of the ferromagnetic Ising model on a regular matroid. Jerrum and Sinclair have shown that there is a fully polynomial randomised approximation scheme (FPRAS) for the ...

Nonlinear Matroid Optimization and Experimental Design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study the problem of optimizing nonlinear objective functions over matroids presented by oracles or explicitly. Such functions can be interpreted as the balancing of multi-criteria optimization. We provide a combinatorial polynomial time algorithm for

Orienting Transversals and Transition Polynomials of Multimatroids

open access: yes, 2017
Multimatroids generalize matroids, delta-matroids, and isotropic systems, and transition polynomials of multimatroids subsume various polynomials for these latter combinatorial structures, such as the interlace polynomial and the Tutte-Martin polynomial.

Even Delta-Matroids and the Complexity of Planar Boolean CSPs

open access: yes, 2017
The main result of this paper is a generalization of the classical blossom algorithm for finding perfect matchings. Our algorithm can efficiently solve Boolean CSPs where each variable appears in exactly two constraints (we call it edge CSP) and all ...

On Some Algorithmic and Structural Results on Flames

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 392-397, December 2025.
ABSTRACT A directed graph F with a root node r is called a flame if for every vertex v other than r the local edge‐connectivity value λ F ( r , v ) from r to v is equal to ϱ F ( v ), the in‐degree of v. It is a classic, simple and beautiful result of Lovász [4] that every digraph D with a root node r has a spanning subgraph F that is a flame and the λ (

Maximum size binary matroids with no AG(3,2)-minor are graphic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We prove that the maximum size of a simple binary matroid of rank $r \geq 5$ with no AG(3,2)-minor is $\binom{r+1}{2}$ and characterise those matroids achieving this bound.
