Branch-width, parse trees, and monadic second-order logic for matroids
Abstract. We introduce "matroid parse trees" which, using only a limited amount of information at each node, can build up the vector representations of matroids of bounde...

On the unique representability of spikes over prime fields
For an integer n 3, 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 {1, 2, . . . , n - 1}, the union of e...

On inequivalent representations of matroids over non-prime fields
Abstract. For each finite field F of prime order there is a constant c such that every 4-connected matroid has at most c inequivalent representations over F. We had hoped that th...

Constructive characterizations of 3-connected matroids of path width three
A matroid M is sequential or has path width 3 if M is 3-connected and its ground set has a sequential ordering, that is, an ordering (e1, e2, . . . , en) such that ({e1, e2, . . . ...

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 ...
