Abstract
We give explicit recursive constructions for the polytope of all matroids in ranks 2 and 3 for all ground set sizes. This polytope was introduced in recent work by Ferroni and Fink as a tool for checking positivity conjectures for valuative invariants. We supplement our theoretical construction by an implementation, which allows for the computation of for and for . Further, we compute Schubert expansions for all isomorphism classes of matroids of rank up to , and for rank up to .
