In 2006 J.G. Thompson conjectured: "If F is a field and A is in GL(n,F), then there is a permutation matrix P such that AP is cyclic, that is, the minimal polynomial of AP is also its characteristic polynomial" (open problem 16.95 in the…

Unimodal (i.e. single-humped) permutations may be decomposed into a product of disjoint cycles. Some enumerative results concerning their cyclic structure -- e.g. 2/3 of them contain fixed points -- are given. We also obtain in effect a…

A semiring is uniserial if its ideals are totally ordered by inclusion. First, we show that a semiring $S$ is uniserial if and only if the matrix semiring $M_n(S)$ is uniserial. As a generalization of valuation semirings, we also…

We give a characterization of a matroid to be paving, through its set of hyperplanes and give an algorithm to construct all of them.

For a graph with edge ordering, a linear order on the edge set, we obtain a permutation of vertices by considering the edges as transpositions of endvertices. It is known from D\'enes' results that the permutation of a tree is a full cyclic…

We investigate an approach to matroid complexity that involves describing a matroid via a list of independent sets, bases, circuits, or some other family of subsets of the ground set. The computational complexity of algorithmic problems…

If $M$ is a matroid, then a simple matroid $M'$ with the same rank as $M$ is an adjoint of $M$ if there is an inclusion-reversing embedding $\phi$ of the lattice of flats of $M$ into the lattice of flats of $M'$ such that $\phi$ maps the…

A cyclic base ordering of a connected graph $G$, is a cyclic ordering of $E(G)$ such that every cyclically consecutive $|V(G)|-1$ edges form a spanning tree. In this project, we study cyclic base ordering of various families of graphs,…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the properties of spectral and tiling subsets of cyclic groups, with an eye towards the spectral set conjecture in one dimension, which states that a bounded measurable subset of $\mathbb{R}$…

A matroid $N$ is said to be triangle-rounded in a class of matroids $\mathcal{M}$ if each $3$-connected matroid $M\in \mathcal{M}$ with a triangle $T$ and an $N$-minor has an $N$-minor with $T$ as triangle. Reid gave a result useful to…

We discuss a conjecture of Ingleton on excluded minors for base-orderability, and, extending a result he stated, we prove that infinitely many of the matroids that he identified are excluded minors for base-orderability, as well as for the…

Let $T$ be a tree with a fixed subset of vertices $V^{\ast}$ such that there is a cyclic order $C$ on it and all terminal vertices are contained in this set. Let $D^{2} = \{(x,y) \in \rr^{2} | x^{2} + y^{2} \leq 1 \}$ be a closed oriented…

In this paper, we give a new axioms system based on nonseparable flats with their ranks to define a matroid. We deduce a polynomial time algorithm for deciding if a given matroid (respectively, arbitrary structure) is an uniform matroid.…

In this paper we highlight some enumerative results concerning matroids of low rank and prove the tail-ends of various sequences involving the number of matroids on a finite set to be log-convex. We give a recursion for a new, slightly…

Let $M$ be an arbitrary matroid with circuits $\mathcal{C}(M)$. We propose a definition of a derived matroid $\delta M$ that has as its ground set $\mathcal{C}(M)$. Unlike previous attempts of such a definition, our definition applies to…

A matrix group is said to be permutation-like if any matrix of the group is similar to a permutation matrix. G. Cigler proved that, if a permutation-like matrix group contains a normal cyclic subgroup which is generated by a maximal cycle…

We show that a lattice-ordered field (not necessarily commutative) is totally ordered if and only if each square is positive, answering a generalized question of Conrad and Dauns (Pacific J. Math. 30 (1969), 385--398) in the affirmative. As…

Let G be a finite simple graph. From the pioneering work of R. P. Stanley it is known that the cycle matroid of G is supersolvable iff G is chordal (rigid): this is another way to read Dirac's theorem on chordal graphs. Chordal binary…

In this paper, we study positroids and its overlap with two classes of matroids: transversal and paving matroids. We exhibit a new class of fundamental transversal matroids and classify the Le-diagram for rank two transversal positroids. We…

We prove a new exchange property for bases of a matroid that generalizes the multiple symmetric exchange property. For every bases $B_1,\dots,B_k$ of a matroid and a subset $A_1\subset B_1$ there exist subsets $A_2\subset…
