We extend the splitting operation from binary matroids (Raghunathan et al., 1998) to $p$- matroids, where $p$-matroids refer to matroids representable over $GF(p).$ We also characterize circuits, bases, and independent sets of the resulting…
The splitting operation on a $p$-matroid does not necessarily preserve connectivity. It is observed that there exists a single element extension of the splitting matroid which is connected. In this paper, we define the element splitting…
In this paper, we define generalized splitting and element splitting operations on $p$-matroids. $p$-matroids are the matroids representable over $GF(p).$ The circuits and the bases of the new matroid are characterized in terms of circuits…
The es-splitting operation for binary matroids is a natural generalization of Slater's n-line splitting operation on graphs. In this paper, we characterize the closure operator of the es-splitting binary matroid $M^e_X$ in terms of the…
Raghunathan at al. [9] introduced splitting operation with respect to a pair of element for binary matroid and characterized Eulerian binary matroids using it. In general, the splitting operation does not preserve the graphicness property…
Fleischner introduced the idea of splitting a vertex of degree at least three in a connected graph and used the operation to characterize Eulerian graphs. Raghunathan et. al. extended the splitting operation from graphs to binary matroids.…
The r-fold-n-point-splitting operation is an important operation in Graph Theory defined by Slater [15]. Later, Ghafari [6] extended 3-fold-n-point-splitting operation in binary matroids and obtained the result for Eulerian matroids whose…
The element splitting operation on a graphic matroid, in general may not yield a cographic matroid. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the graphic matroid to yield cographic matroid under the element splitting…
In general, the splitting operation on binary matroids does not preserve the graphicness and cographicness properties of binary matroids. In this paper, we obtain a characterization of the class of graphic matroids whose splitting with…
We provide a combinatorial study of split matroids, a class that was motivated by the study of matroid polytopes from a tropical geometry point of view. A nice feature of split matroids is that they generalize paving matroids, while being…
Seymour's Splitter Theorem is a basic inductive tool for dealing with $3$-connected matroids. This paper proves a generalization of that theorem for the class of $2$-polymatroids. Such structures include matroids, and they model both sets…
In this paper we employ Tutte's theory of bridges to derive a decomposition theorem for binary matroids arising from signed graphs. The proposed decomposition differs from previous decomposition results on matroids that have appeared in the…
One characterization of binary matroids is that the symmetric difference of every pair of intersecting circuits is a disjoint union of circuits. This paper considers circuit-difference matroids, that is, those matroids in which the…
Delta-matroid theory is often thought of as a generalization of topological graph theory. It is well-known that an orientable embedded graph is bipartite if and only if its Petrie dual is orientable. In this paper, we first introduce the…
A simple binary matroid is called claw-free if none of its rank-3 flats are independent sets. These objects can be equivalently defined as the sets $E$ of points in $\mathrm{PG}(n-1,2)$ for which $|E \cap P|$ is not a basis of $P$ for any…
Spikes are an important class of 3-connected matroids. For an integer $r\geq 3$, there is a unique binary r-spike denoted by $Z_{r}$. When a circuit-hyperplane of $Z_{r}$ is relaxed, we obtain another spike and repeating this procedure will…
This is a continuation of the early paper concerning matroid base polytope decomposition. Here, we will present sufficient conditions on $M$ so its base matroid polytope $P(M)$ has a {\em sequence} of hyperplane splits. The latter yields to…
Splitting operation in Matroid Theory does not preserve graphicness, connectedness, cographicness, etc. Also, the splitting of binary gammoid does not necessarily be binary gammoid after splitting. We have characterized a class of graphic…
Let $EX[M_1\dots, M_k]$ denote the class of binary matroids with no minors isomorphic to $M_1, \dots, M_k$. In this paper we give a decomposition theorem for $EX[S_{10}, S_{10}^*]$, where $S_{10}$ is a certain 10-element rank-4 matroid. As…
Zaslavsky introduced the concept of lifted-graphic matroid. For binary matroids, a binary elementary lift can be defined in terms of the splitting operation. In this paper, we give a method to get a forbidden-minor characterization for the…
