Circuits and structure in matroids and graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This dissertation consists of several results on matroid and graph structure and is organized into three main parts. The main goal of the first part, Chapters 1-3, is to produce a unique decomposition of 3-connected matroids into more highly connected ...

Unavoidable Minors of Large 4-Connected Bicircular Matroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
It is known that any 3-connected matroid that is large enough is certain to contain a minor of a given size belonging to one of a few special classes of matroids.

Infinite graphic matroids Part I [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
An infinite matroid is graphic if all of its finite minors are graphic and the intersection of any circuit with any cocircuit is finite. We show that a matroid is graphic if and only if it can be represented by a graph-like topological space: that is, a ...

Non-Separating Cocircuits and Graphicness in Matroids

open access: yes, 2012
Let $M$ be a 3-connected binary matroid and let $Y(M)$ be the set of elements of $M$ avoiding at least $r(M)+1$ non-separating cocircuits of $M$. Lemos proved that $M$ is non-graphic if and only if $Y(M)\neq\emp$. We generalize this result when by establishing that $Y(M)$ is very large when $M$ is non-graphic and $M$ has no $M\s(K_{3,3}"')$-minor if $M$

Capturing elements in matroid minors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this dissertation, we begin with an introduction to a matroid as the natural generalization of independence arising in three different fields of mathematics. In the first chapter, we develop graph theory and matroid theory terminology necessary to the

Matroid and Tutte-connectivity in infinite graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We relate matroid connectivity to Tutte-connectivity in an infinite graph. Moreover, we show that the two cycle matroids, the finite-cycle matroid and the cycle matroid, in which also infinite cycles are taken into account, have the same connectivity ...

Detachable Pairs in 3-Connected Matroids

open access: yes, 2015
The classical tool at the matroid theorist’s disposal when dealing with the common problem of wanting to remove a single element from a 3-connected matroid without losing 3-connectivity is Tutte’s Wheels-and-Whirls Theorem.
