Matroid theory

Weighted matroid

In combinatorics, a branch of mathematics, a weighted matroid is a matroid endowed with function with respect to which one can perform a greedy algorithm. A weight function for a matroid assigns a strictly positive weight to each element of . We extend the function to subsets of by summation; is the sum of over in . A matroid with an associated weight function is called a weighted matroid. (Wikipedia).

Joseph Bonin: Delta-matroids as subsystems of sequences of Higgs lifts

Abstract: Delta-matroids generalize matroids. In a delta-matroid, the counterparts of bases, which are called feasible sets, can have different sizes, but they satisfy a similar exchange property in which symmetric differences replace set differences. One way to get a delta-matroid is to t
