Pattern Recognition on Oriented Matroids: Topes and Critical Committees

Combinatorics 2013-04-01 v6

Abstract

Let the sign components of the maximal covectors of a simple oriented matroid M be represented by the real numbers -1 and 1. Consider the vertex set V(R) of a symmetric cycle R of adjacent topes in the tope graph of M as a subposet of the tope poset of M. If B is the bottom element of the tope poset then B is equal to the unweighted sum of the members of the set min V(R) of minimal elements of the subposet V(R); if B is the positive tope then the set min V(R) is a critical tope committee for the acyclic oriented matroid M.
