There are only a finite number of excluded minors for the class of bicircular matroids

Matt DeVos, Daryl Funk, Luis Goddyn +1

We show that the class of bicircular matroids has only a finite number of excluded minors. Key tools used in our proof include representations of matroids by biased graphs and the…

How many delta-matroids are there?

Daryl Funk, Dillon Mayhew, Steven D. Noble

We give upper and lower bounds on the number of delta-matroids, and on the number of even delta-matroids.

Almost balanced biased graph representations of frame matroids

Matt DeVos, Daryl Funk

Given a 3-connected biased graph with a balancing vertex, and with frame matroid nongraphic and 3-connected, we determine all biased graphs with

Graphical representations of graphic frame matroids

Rong Chen, Matt DeVos, Daryl Funk +1

A frame matroid M is graphic if there is a graph G with cycle matroid isomorphic to M. In general, if there is one such graph, there will be many. Zaslavsky has shown that frame ma…

Describing Quasi-Graphic Matroids

Nathan Bowler, Daryl Funk, Daniel Slilaty

This is a revised version of our original paper (arXiv:1808.00489v2) incorporating the corrections published in a corrigendum (arXiv:1808.00489v3). Our main theorem as originally s…

Defining bicircular matroids in monadic logic

Daryl Funk, Dillon Mayhew, Mike Newman

We conjecture that the class of frame matroids can be characterised by a sentence in the monadic second-order logic of matroids, and we prove that there is such a characterisation…
