Matroid Polytopes and their Volumes [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete and Computational Geometry, 2009
We express the matroid polytope $P_M$ of a matroid $M$ as a signed Minkowski sum of simplices, and obtain a formula for the volume of $P_M$. This gives a combinatorial expression for the degree of an arbitrary torus orbit closure in the Grassmannian $Gr_{

Generalized Index Coding Problem and Discrete Polymatroids [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
The connections between index coding and matroid theory have been well studied in the recent past. Index coding solutions were first connected to multi linear representation of matroids.

Matroidal Structure of Generalized Rough Sets Based on Tolerance Relations [PDF]

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
Rough set theory provides an effective tool to deal with uncertain, granular, and incomplete knowledge in information systems. Matroid theory generalizes the linear independence in vector spaces and has many applications in diverse fields, such as ...

Flag enumerations of matroid base polytopes [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2008
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.

Relaxations of the matroid axioms I: Independence, Exchange and Circuits [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2020
Motivated by a question of Duval and Reiner about higher Laplacians of simplicial complexes, we describe various relaxations of the defining axioms of matroid theory to obtain larger classes of simplicial complexes that contain pure shifted simplicial ...

Matroid matching with Dilworth truncation [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2005
Let $H=(V,E)$ be a hypergraph and let $k≥ 1$ and$ l≥ 0$ be fixed integers. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be the matroid with ground-set $E s.t. a$ set $F⊆E$ is independent if and only if each $X⊆V$ with $k|X|-l≥ 0$ spans at most $k|X|-l$ hyperedges of $F$.

On -connected splitting matroids

open access: yesAKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics, 2019
In general, the splitting operation on a binary matroid does not preserve the connectivity of In this paper, we provide sufficient conditions to preserve -connectedness of a binary matroid under splitting operation.

Weighted Tree-Numbers of Matroid Complexes [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2015
We give a new formula for the weighted high-dimensional tree-numbers of matroid complexes. This formula is derived from our result that the spectra of the weighted combinatorial Laplacians of matroid complexes consist of polynomials in the weights.

A new matroid constructed by the rank function of a matroid

open access: yesAKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics, 2020
In this article, we construct a submodular function using the rank function of a matroid and study induced matroid with constructed polymatroid, then we relate some properties of connectivity of new matroid with the main matroid.
