Algebraic Structures and Algorithms for Matching and Matroid Problems
We present new algebraic approaches for several wellknown combinatorial problems, including non-bipartite matching, matroid intersection, and some of their generalizations. Our wo...

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 ...

The toric ideal of a graphic matroid is generated by quadrics
Describing minimal generating sets of toric ideals is a well-studied and difficult problem. Neil White conjectured in 1980 that the toric ideal associated to a matroid is generated...

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...

Finding Branch-Decompositions and Rank-Decompositions
Abstract. We present a new algorithm that can output the rankdecomposition of width at most k of a graph if such exists. For that we use an algorithm that, for an input matroid rep...
