Modeling of Complex Systems by Means of Partial Algebras
Complex systems are very hard to describe by some unified language and calculus. In cases when their nature is very heterogeneous is possible to use with advantage state description.

Valuations for matroid polytope subdivisions
We prove that the ranks of the subsets and the activities of the bases of a matroid define valuations for the subdivisions of a matroid polytope into smaller matroid polytopes.Comment: 19 pages.

Matroids with many common bases
The notion of ``vertical \(k\)-connectivity'' of matroids, due to Oxley, is utilized to formulate a strengthened version of a previous theorem of the author's. This new statement is proven: If the symmetric difference of the collections of bases of two matroids has at most \(k\) elements, then, except in certain simply-described cases, it is possible ...

Matroids on the Bases of Simple Matroids
Let M be a simple matroid (= combinatorial geometry). On the bases of M we consider two matroids S(M, F) and H(M, F), which depend on a field F. S(M, F) is the simplicial matroid with coefficients in F on the bases of M considered as simplices. H(M, F) has been studied by Björner in [1].

On the k-volume rigidity of a simplicial complex in ℝ d
We define a generic rigidity matroid for k-volumes of a simplicial complex in $\mathbb {R}^d$ and prove that for $2\leq k \leq d-1$ it has the same rank as the classical generic d-rigidity matroid on the same vertex set (namely, the case

Nonlinear Matroid Optimization and Experimental Design [PDF]
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

Recently, it was proved by Bérczi and Schwarcz that the problem of factorizing a matroid into rainbow bases with respect to a given partition of its ground set is algorithmically intractable. On the other hand, many special cases were left open. We first show that the problem remains hard if the matroid is graphic, answering a question of Bérczi and ...

Oriented Matroids -- Combinatorial Structures Underlying Loop Quantum Gravity [PDF]
We analyze combinatorial structures which play a central role in determining spectral properties of the volume operator in loop quantum gravity (LQG).
