We consider three matroids defined by Kalai in 1985: the symmetric completion matroid $\mathcal{S}_d$ on the edge set of a looped complete graph; the hyperconnectivity matroid $\mathcal{H}_d$ on the edge set of a complete graph; and the…
A {\em connectivity function} on a set $E$ is a function $\lambda:2^E\rightarrow \mathbb R$ such that $\lambda(\emptyset)=0$, that $\lambda(X)=\lambda(E-X)$ for all $X\subseteq E$, and that $\lambda(X\cap Y)+\lambda(X\cup Y)\leq…
We present a novel algebraic combinatorial view on low-rank matrix completion based on studying relations between a few entries with tools from algebraic geometry and matroid theory. The intrinsic locality of the approach allows for the…
The joint degree matrix of a graph gives the number of edges between vertices of degree i and degree j for every pair (i,j). One can perform restricted swap operations to transform a graph into another with the same joint degree matrix. We…
Binary delta-matroids are closed under vertex flips, which consist of the natural operations of twist and loop complementation. In this note we provide an extension of this result from GF(2) to GF(4). As a consequence, quaternary matroids…
We pursue a study of the Generalized Demand Matching problem, a common generalization of the $b$-Matching and Knapsack problems. Here, we are given a graph with vertex capacities, edge profits, and asymmetric demands on the edges. The goal…
Extending the notion of geometric bijections for regular matroids, introduced by the first and third author with Matthew Baker, we describe a family of bijections between bases of an oriented matroid and special orientations. These…
A transversal matroid whose dual is also transversal is called bi-transversal. Let $G$ be an undirected graph with vertex set $V$. In this paper, for every subset $W$ of $V$, we associate a bi-transversal matroid to the pair $(G,W)$. We…
Given a matroid together with a coloring of its ground set, a subset of its elements is called rainbow colored if no two of its elements have the same color. We show that if a binary matroid of rank $r$ is colored with exactly $r$ colors,…
Luis Ferroni and Alex Fink recently introduced a polytope of all unlabeled matroids of rank $r$ on $n$ elements, and they showed that the vertices of this polytope come from matroids that can be characterized by maximizing a sequence of…
In a previous work, we gave a construction of (not necessarily realizable) oriented matroids from a triangulation of a product of two simplices. In this follow-up paper, we use a variant of Viro's patchworking to derive a topological…
We introduce the notion of a matroid M over a commutative ring R, assigning to every subset of the ground set an R-module according to some axioms. When R is a field, we recover matroids. When R=$\mathbb{Z}$, and when R is a DVR, we get…
Given an undirected graph, are there $k$ matchings whose union covers all of its nodes, that is, a matching-$k$-cover? A first, easy polynomial solution from matroid union is possible, as already observed by Wang, Song and Yuan…
We introduce a binary matroid M(IAS(G)) associated with a looped simple graph G. M(IAS(G)) classifies G up to local equivalence, and determines the delta-matroid and isotropic system associated with G. Moreover, a parametrized form of its…
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.…
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…
We generalize the well-studied notion of a modular pair of a finite matroid to arbitrary families of sets in infinite matroids, and use it to develop the theory of infinite matroids in several as-yet-unexplored areas. Our results include a…
We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every face of a planar embedding of the graph in order to capture…
Recently, there is a revival of interest in low-rank matrix completion-based unsupervised learning through the lens of dual-graph regularization, which has significantly improved the performance of multidisciplinary machine learning tasks…
This paper is the first in a series of papers developing a functional-analytic theory of vertex (operator) algebras and their representations. For an arbitrary Z-graded finitely-generated vertex algebra (V, Y, 1) satisfying the standard…
