Excluding a planar graph from GF(q)-representable matroids
Abstract. We prove that a binary matroid with huge branchwidth contains the cycle matroid of a large grid as a minor. This implies that an infinite antichain of binary matroids ca...

Planar Decompositions and the Crossing Number of Graphs with an Excluded Minor
Tree decompositions of graphs are of fundamental importance in structural and algorithmic graph theory. Planar decompositions generalise tree decompositions by allowing an arbitrar...

On the Complexity of Matroid Isomorphism Problem
We study the complexity of testing if two given matroids are isomorphic. The problem is easily seen to be in Σ p 2. In the case of linear matroids, which are represented over pol...

Matroid Pathwidth and Code Trellis Complexity
We relate the notion of matroid pathwidth to the minimum trellis state-complexity (which we term trellis-width) of a linear code, and to the pathwidth of a graph. By reducing from ...
