β¦ Synopsis
Recently Dress and Wenzel introduced the concept of a valuated matroid in terms of a quantitative extension of the basis exchange axiom for matroids. This paper gives two sets of cryptomorphically equivalent axioms of valuated matroids in terms of a function defined on the family of the independent sets of the underlying matroid.

We determine the minimum num>er of independent sets of arbitrary fixed rank contained in a matroid M as M varies over all simple (respectively loopless) matroids of fixed rank and cardinality.
## L dimension may be chosen within each of the subspaces L in the set S that are ''in general position.'' For example, in the real projective space of dimension 3, consider a plane , a line r not belonging to , the point P [ r l , and two distinct points Q, R both different from P, lying on the l
Random independent sets in graphs arise, for example, in statistical physics, in the hardcore model of a gas. In 1997, Luby and Vigoda described a rapidly mixing Markov chain for independent sets, which we refer to as the LubyαVigoda chain. A new rapidly mixing Markov chain for independent sets is d
It is shown that, over suitable valuation domains R with field of quotients Q, the cotorsion theory K generated by K = Q/R coincides with the cotorsion theory β cogenerated by the Fuchs' divisible module β, provided that GΓΆdel's Axiom of Constructibility V = L is assumed. On the other hand, assuming
