Simple Matroids With Bounded Cocircuit Size
We examine the specialization to simple matroids of certain problems in extremal matroid theory that are concerned with bounded cocircuit size. Assume that each cocircuit of a simp...

On basis-exchange properties for matroids
We give a counterexample to a conjecture by Wild about binary matroids. We connect two equivalent lines of research in matroid theory: a simple type of basis-exchange property and ...

On Variants of the Matroid Secretary Problem
We present a number of positive and negative results for variants of the matroid secretary problem. Most notably, we design a constant-factor competitive algorithm for the “rando...

Matroid tree-width
Abstract. We show that the tree-width of a graph can be defined without reference to graph vertices, and hence the notion of tree-width can be naturally extended to matroids. (This...

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...
