In this paper, we propose a new type of matroids, namely covering matroids, and investigate the connections with the second type of covering-based rough sets and some existing special matroids. Firstly, as an extension of partitions,…
Recently, in order to broad the application and theoretical areas of rough sets and matroids, some authors have combined them from many different viewpoints, such as circuits, rank function, spanning sets and so on. In this paper, we…
A mixed lattice is a lattice-type structure consisting of a set with two partial orderings, and generalizing the notion of a lattice. Mixed lattice theory has previously been studied in various algebraic structures, such as groups and…
Attribute reduction is a basic issue in knowledge representation and data mining. Rough sets provide a theoretical foundation for the issue. Matroids generalized from matrices have been widely used in many fields, particularly greedy…
The main result is Theorem MAT 11 which states that every finite closure operator is the ground set of a matroid. Its base sets consist of nonredundant covers of of the closure. These are minimal subsets that determine the closure operator…
The configuration of a matroid $M$ is the abstract lattice of cyclic flats (flats that are unions of circuits) where we record the size and rank of each cyclic flat, but not the set. One can compute the Tutte polynomial of $M$, and stronger…
We introduce a lattice structure as a generalization of meet-continuous lattices and quantales. We develop a point-free approach to these new lattices and apply these results to $R$-modules. In particular, we give the module counterpart of…
A matroid is a machine capturing linearity of mathematical objects and producing combinatorial structures. Matroid structure arises everywhere since linearity is a ubiquitous concept. One natural way to obtain matroids is by considering…
In this work we present an algorithm to construct sparse-paving matroids over finite set $S$. From this algorithm we derive some useful bounds on the cardinality of the set of circuits of any Sparse-Paving matroids which allow us to prove…
In this paper, the ordered set of rough sets determined by a quasiorder relation $R$ is investigated. We prove that this ordered set is a complete, completely distributive lattice. We show that on this lattice can be defined three different…
Algebraic lattices are those obtained from modules in the ring of integers of algebraic number fields through the canonical or twisted embeddings. In turn, well-rounded lattices are those with maximal cardinality of linearly independent…
Lattices induced by coverings arise naturally in matroid theory and combinatorial optimization, providing a structured framework for analyzing relationships between independent sets and closures. In this paper, we explore the structural…
We show that real tight frames that generate lattices must be rational, and use this observation to describe a construction of lattices from vertex transitive graphs. In the case of irreducible group frames, we show that the corresponding…
We give a characterization of a matroid to be paving, through its set of hyperplanes and give an algorithm to construct all of them.
This paper studies the properties of two kinds of matroids: (a) algebraic matroids and (b) finite and infinite matroids whose ground set have some canonical symmetry, for example row and column symmetry and transposition symmetry. For (a)…
The classical matrix tree theorem relates the number of spanning trees of a connected graph with the product of the nonzero eigenvalues of its Laplacian matrix. The class of regular matroids generalizes that of graphical matroids, and a…
We construct a family of independent sets for finite, atomic, and graded lattices, extending the well-known cryptomorphism between geometric lattices and matroids. This construction leads to an embedding theorem into geometric lattices that…
Sparse graphs and their associated matroids play an important role in rigidity theory, where they capture the combinatorics of generically rigid structures. We define a new family called {\bf graded sparse graphs}, arising from generically…
Via a family of monotone scalar functions, a preorder on a set is extended to its power set and then used to construct a hull operator and a corresponing complete lattice of sets. A function mappping into the preordered set is extended to a…
Polymatroids can be considered as "fractional matroid" where the rank function is not required to be integer valued. Many, but not every notion in matroid terminology translates naturally to polymatroids. Defining cyclic flats of a…
