Symcat Blog The family of lattice path matroids were introduced by j. bonin, a. de mier and m. noy [bmn03]. this family is closed under all matrix minors (deletions and contraction) and also under matrix duality. But when we ask for the intersection of three matroids, the problem becomes np hard.
Symcat Blog Many important families of matroids may be characterized by the minor minimal matroids that do not belong to the family; these are called forbidden or excluded minors. Matroids are a fundamental combinatorial object with connections to various fields of mathematics. it is an abstraction of linear independence in vector spaces and forests in graphs. An easy class of matroids is given by the uniform ma troids. they are determined by a set s and a number k: the independent sets are the subsets i of s with |i| ≤ k. Miraculously, these 'cryptomorphic axiomatizations' all turn out to give the same object. matroids are meant to generalize various mathematical objects. i'll give one de nition, and then i'll discuss two such objects: graphs and vector spaces.
