Dependencies Among Dependencies in Matroids [PDF]

The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2019
In 1971, Rota introduced the concept of derived matroids to investigate "dependencies among dependencies" in matroids. In this paper, we study the derived matroid $\delta M$ of an ${\mathbb F}$-representation of a matroid $M$. The matroid $\delta M$ has a naturally associated ${\mathbb F}$-representation, so we can define a sequence $\delta M$, $\delta^

Monotone Dependence.

The Annals of Statistics, 1977
Random variables $X$ and $Y$ are mutually completely dependent if there exists a one-to-one function $g$ for which $P\lbrack Y = g(X)\rbrack = 1.$ An example is presented of a pair of random variables which are mutually completely dependent, but "almost" independent.
