The fusion between graph theory and combinatorial optimization has led to theoretically profound and practically useful algorithms, yet there is no book that currently covers both areas together. Handbook of Graph Theory, Combinatorial Optimization,
WHAT IS A MATROID? JAMES OXLEY Abstract. Matroids were introduced by Whitney in 1935 to try to capture abstractly the essence of dependence. Whitney’s definition embraces a surprising diversity of combinatorial structures. Moreover, matroids arise n
