Rough matroids based on coverings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The introduction of covering-based rough sets has made a substantial contribution to the classical rough sets. However, many vital problems in rough sets, including attribution reduction, are NP-hard and therefore the algorithms for solving them are ...

The critical number of dense triangle-free binary matroids

open access: yes, 2016
We show that, for each real number $\epsilon > 0$ there is an integer $c$ such that, if $M$ is a simple triangle-free binary matroid with $|M| \ge (\tfrac{1}{4} + \epsilon) 2^{r(M)}$, then $M$ has critical number at most $c$.

A flow‐based ascending auction to compute buyer‐optimal Walrasian prices

open access: yesNetworks, Volume 84, Issue 2, Page 161-180, September 2024.
Abstract We consider a market where a set of objects is sold to a set of buyers, each equipped with a valuation function for the objects. The goal of the auctioneer is to determine reasonable prices together with a stable allocation. One definition of “reasonable” and “stable” is a Walrasian equilibrium, which is a tuple consisting of a price vector ...

Valuative invariants for large classes of matroids

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 110, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract We study an operation in matroid theory that allows one to transition a given matroid into another with more bases via relaxing a stressed subset. This framework provides a new combinatorial characterization of the class of (elementary) split matroids.

The Cocycle Lattice of Binary Matroids

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Combinatorics, 1993
If the weight of every cut in an edge-weighted simple graph is an integer, then the weight of every edge is an integer or a half-integer. This property \(P\) does not generalize to all binary matroids (but it does if the matroid has no parallel elements or Fano minors). The authors study the lattice (grid) generated by the incidence vectors of cocycles

Binary matroids that classify forests

open access: yesAlgebra and Discrete Mathematics, 2022
Elementary arguments show that a tree or forest is determined (up to isomorphism) by binary matroids defined using the adjacency matrix.

On Local Equivalence, Surface Code States and Matroids

open access: yes, 2010
Recently, Ji et al disproved the LU-LC conjecture and showed that the local unitary and local Clifford equivalence classes of the stabilizer states are not always the same.

On the impossibility of decomposing binary matroids

open access: yesOperations Research Letters, 2022
We show that there exist $k$-colorable matroids that are not $(b,c)$-decomposable when $b$ and $c$ are constants. A matroid is $(b,c)$-decomposable, if its ground set of elements can be partitioned into sets $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_l$ with the following two properties. Each set $X_i$ has size at most $ck$. Moreover, for all sets $Y$ such that $|Y \cap X_i|

A notion of minor-based matroid connectivity

open access: yes, 2018
For a matroid $N$, a matroid $M$ is $N$-connected if every two elements of $M$ are in an $N$-minor together. Thus a matroid is connected if and only if it is $U_{1,2}$-connected.

Circuit Decompositions of Binary Matroids

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics
Given a simple Eulerian binary matroid $M$, what is the minimum number of disjoint circuits necessary to decompose $M$? We prove that $|M| / (\operatorname{rank}(M) + 1)$ many circuits suffice if $M = \mathbb F_2^n \setminus \{0\}$ is the complete binary matroid, for certain values of $n$, and that $\mathcal{O}(2^{\operatorname{rank}(M ...
