Degeneracy: From Graphs to Matroids
Allan Bickle, James Dylan Douthitt, Wayne Ge +1
A graph is -degenerate if every subgraph has a vertex of degree at most . We extend this notion to matroids, defining a loopless matroid to be -degenerate if every res…
The connected binary matroids with a pair of elements in no non-spanning circuits
Wayne Ge, James Oxley, Jagdeep Singh
Let be a simple connected binary matroid, and let and be distinct elements of . It is well known that, when the only circuits containing are spanning, is a c…
Cographs and 1-sums
Jagdeep Singh
A graph that can be generated from using joins and 0-sums is called a cograph. We define a sesquicograph to be a graph that can be generated from using joins, 0-sums, a…
The smallest class of binary matroids closed under direct sums and complements
James Oxley, Jagdeep Singh
The class of cographs or complement-reducible graphs is the class of graphs that can be generated from using the operations of disjoint union and complementation. By analogy,…
Generalizing Cographs to 2-Cographs
James Oxley, Jagdeep Singh
A graph in which every connected induced subgraph has a disconnected complement is called a cograph. Such graphs are precisely the graphs that do not have the 4-vertex path as an i…
Elastic elements in 3-connected matroids
George Drummond, Zachary Gershkoff, Susan Jowett +2
It follows by Bixby's Lemma that if is an element of a -connected matroid , then either ${\rm co}(M\delete e)$, the cosimplification of $M\delete e$, or ,…
