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...
There exist several theorems which state that when a matroid is representable over distinct fields 1,..., k, it is also representable over other fields. We prove a theorem, the Li...
Let M be a matroid representable over a (partial) field and B a matrix representable over a sub-partial field . We say that B confines M to if, whenever a -representation matrix ...
We study matroidal networks introduced by Dougherty et al., who showed that if a network is scalar-linearly solvable over some finite field, then the network is a matroidal network...
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...
