The Chip Firing Game and Matroid Complexes [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2001
In this paper we construct from a cographic matroid M, a pure multicomplex whose degree sequence is the h―vector of the the matroid complex of M. This result provesa conjecture of Richard Stanley [Sta96] in the particular case of cographic matroids.

Hall's marriage theorem

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In 1935, Philip Hall published what is often referred to as ‘Hall's marriage theorem’ in a short paper (P. Hall, J. Lond. Math. Soc. (1) 10 (1935), no. 1, 26–30.) This paper has been very influential. I state the theorem and outline Hall's proof, together with some equivalent (or stronger) earlier results, and proceed to discuss some the many ...

Multidimensional Topological Measure Spaces and Their Applications in Decision‐Making Problems

open access: yesAdvances in Fuzzy Systems, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper presents a generalized framework termed the multidimensional topological measure space (MDTMS), developed through multidimensional fuzzy sets, multidimensional topology, and an associated distance measure. The suggested framework enhances traditional fuzzy models by facilitating a more nuanced representation and examination of intricate ...

On the number of matroids compared to the number of sparse paving matroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It has been conjectured that sparse paving matroids will eventually predominate in any asymptotic enumeration of matroids, i.e. that $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} s_n/m_n = 1$, where $m_n$ denotes the number of matroids on $n$ elements, and $s_n$ the number

The matroid secretary problem for minor-closed classes and random matroids

open access: yes, 2019
We prove that for every proper minor-closed class $M$ of matroids representable over a prime field, there exists a constant-competitive matroid secretary algorithm for the matroids in $M$.

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 (

Rigidity through a Projective Lens

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
In this paper, we offer an overview of a number of results on the static rigidity and infinitesimal rigidity of discrete structures which are embedded in projective geometric reasoning, representations, and transformations.

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.

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 ...

Girth in GF(q)$\textsf {GF}(q)$‐representable matroids

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 57, Issue 11, Page 3401-3407, November 2025.
Abstract We prove a conjecture of Geelen, Gerards, and Whittle that for any finite field GF(q)$\textsf {GF}(q)$ and any integer t$t$, every cosimple GF(q)$\textsf {GF}(q)$‐representable matroid with sufficiently large girth contains either M(Kt)$M(K_t)$ or M(Kt)∗$M(K_t)^*$ as a minor.
