Abstract

Rota's Basis Conjecture is a well known problem from matroid theory, that states that for any collection of nn bases in a rank nn matroid, it is possible to decompose all the elements into nn disjoint rainbow bases. Here an asymptotic version of this is proved. We show that it is possible to find no(n)n-o(n) disjoint rainbow independent sets of size no(n)n-o(n).
