Unavoidable minors of large 4 - connected
11 It is known that any 3-connected matroid that is large enough is certain to contain 12 a minor of a given size belonging one of a few special classes of matroids. This 13 paper proves a similar unavoidable minor result for large 4-connected bicircular 14 matroids. The main result follows from establishing the list of unavoidable minors 15 of large 4-biconnected graphs, which are the graphs r...
متن کاملUnavoidable parallel minors of regular matroids
We prove that, for each positive integer k, every sufficiently large 3-connected regular matroid has a parallel minor isomorphic to M∗(K3,k), M(Wk), M(Kk), the cycle matroid of the graph obtained from K2,k by adding paths through the vertices of each vertex class, or the cycle matroid of the graph obtained from K3,k by adding a complete graph on the vertex class with three vertices.
متن کاملUnavoidable Parallel Minors and Series Minors of Regular Matroids
We prove that, for each positive integer k, every sufficiently large 3-connected regular matroid has a parallel minor isomorphic to M∗(K3,k), M(Wk), M(Kk), the cycle matroid of the graph obtained from K2,k by adding paths through the vertices of each vertex class, or the cycle matroid of the graph obtained from K3,k by adding a complete graph on the vertex class with three vertices.
متن کاملUnavoidable parallel minors of 4-connected graphs
A parallel minor is obtained from a graph by any sequence of edge contractions and parallel edge deletions. We prove that, for any positive integer k, every internally 4-connected graph of sufficiently high order contains a parallel minor isomorphic to a variation of K4,k with a complete graph on the vertices of degree k, the k-partition triple fan with a complete graph on the vertices of degre...
متن کاملCapturing matroid elements in unavoidable 3-connected minors
A result of Ding, Oporowski, Oxley, and Vertigan reveals that a large 3-connectedmatroidM has unavoidable structure. For everyn > 2, there is an integer f (n) so that if |E(M)| > f (n), thenM has aminor isomorphic to the rank-n wheel or whirl, a rank-n spike, the cycle or bond matroid of K3,n, or U2,n or Un−2,n. In this paper, we build on this result to determine what can be said about a large ...
