We consider matroids with the property that every subset of the ground set of size $t$ is contained in both an $\ell$-element circuit and an $\ell$-element cocircuit; we say that such a matroid has the $(t,\ell)$-property. We show that for…

We use the Strong Splitter Theorem to decompose the excluded minor class of binary matroids with no $E_4$-minor. Using this theorem we can get the 3-decomposers and the extremal internally 4-connected matroids as well as any other important…

The $es$-splitting operation on binary bridge-less matroids never produces an Eulerian matroid. But for matroids representable over $GF(p),(p>2),$ called $p$-matroids, the $es$-splitting operation may yield Eulerian matroids. In this work,…

For an integer $n>2$, a rank-$n$ matroid is called an $n$-spike if it consists of $n$ three-point lines through a common point such that, for all $k\in\{1, 2, ..., n - 1\}$, the union of every set of $k$ of these lines has rank $k+1$.…

The Splitter Theorem states that, if $N$ is a 3-connected proper minor of a 3-connected matroid $M$ such that, if $N$ is a wheel or whirl then $M$ has no larger wheel or whirl, respectively, then there is a sequence $M_0,..., M_n$ of…

From a fibered link in the 3-sphere may be constructed a field of not everywhere tangent 2-planes; when the fibered link is the link of an isolated critical point of a map from 4-space to the plane, the plane field is essentially the field…

This paper deals with the problem of extracting the activity of individual neurons from multi-electrode recordings. Important aspects of this work are: 1) the sorting is done in two stages - a statistical model of the spikes from different…

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…

Memristors have uses as artificial synapses and perform well in this role in simulations with artificial spiking neurons. Our experiments show that memristor networks natively spike and can exhibit emergent oscillations and bursting spikes.…

We consider matroids with the property that every subset of the ground set of size $s$ is contained in a $2s$-element circuit and every subset of size $t$ is contained in a $2t$-element cocircuit. We say that such a matroid has the…

The computation of rank ordering plays a fundamental role in cognitive tasks and offers a basic building block for computing arbitrary digital functions. Spiking neural networks have been demonstrated to be capable of identifying the…

Reliable spike detection and sorting, the process of assigning each detected spike to its originating neuron, is an essential step in the analysis of extracellular electrical recordings from neurons. The volume and complexity of the data…

In this paper, we introduce RISP, a reduced instruction spiking processor. While most spiking neuroprocessors are based on the brain, or notions from the brain, we present the case for a spiking processor that simplifies rather than…

This paper presents a spike-based model which employs neurons with functionally distinct dendritic compartments for classifying high dimensional binary patterns. The synaptic inputs arriving on each dendritic subunit are nonlinearly…

We exhibit several families of planar graphs that are minor-minimal intrinsically spherical $3$-linked. A graph is intrinsically spherical 3-linked if it is planar graph that has, in every spherical embedding, a non-split 3-link consisting…

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…

Providing the neurobiological basis of information processing in higher animals, spiking neural networks must be able to learn a variety of complicated computations, including the generation of appropriate, possibly delayed reactions to…

Spikes are the currency in central nervous systems for information transmission and processing. They are also believed to play an essential role in low-power consumption of the biological systems, whose efficiency attracts increasing…

Let $M$ be a $3$-connected matroid. A pair $\{e,f\}$ in $M$ is detachable if $M \backslash e \backslash f$ or $M / e / f$ is $3$-connected. Williams (2015) proved that if $M$ has at least 13 elements, then at least one of the following…

Recent advances in neural recording technology allow simultaneously recording action potentials from hundreds to thousands of neurons in awake, behaving animals. However, characterizing spike patterns in the resulting data, and linking…
