Matroid intersection, base packing and base covering for infinite matroids
As part of the recent developments in infinite matroid theory, there have been a number of conjectures about how standard theorems of finite matroid theory might extend to the infinite setting. These include base packing, base covering, and matroid intersection and union. We show that several of these conjectures are equivalent, so that each gives a perspective on the same central problem of in...
متن کاملA characterization of the base-matroids of a graphic matroid
Let M = (E,F) be a matroid on a set E, and B one of its bases. A closed set θ ⊆ E is saturated with respect to B when |θ ∩B| = r(θ), where r(θ) is the rank of θ. The collection of subsets I of E such that |I ∩ θ| ≤ r(θ) for every closed saturated set θ turns out to be the family of independent sets of a new matroid on E, called base-matroid and denoted by MB . In this paper we prove that a grap...
متن کاملA simple PTAS for Weighted Matroid Matching on Strongly Base Orderable Matroids
We give a simple polynomial time approximation scheme for the weighted matroid matching problem on strongly base orderable matroids. We also show that even the unweighted version of this problem is NP-complete and not in oracle-coNP.
متن کاملOn the intersection of infinite matroids
We show that the infinite matroid intersection conjecture of NashWilliams implies the infinite Menger theorem proved recently by Aharoni and Berger. We prove that this conjecture is true whenever one matroid is nearly finitary and the second is the dual of a nearly finitary matroid, where the nearly finitary matroids form a superclass of the finitary matroids. In particular, this proves the inf...
متن کاملMatroids with an infinite circuit-cocircuit intersection
We construct some matroids that have a circuit and a cocircuit with infinite intersection. This answers a question of Bruhn, Diestel, Kriesell, Pendavingh and Wollan. It further shows that the axiom system for matroids proposed by Dress does not axiomatize all infinite matroids. We show that one of the matroids we define is a thin sums matroid whose dual isn’t a thin sums matroid.
