A matroid Jr' of rank r>.k is k-paving if all of its circuits have cardinality exceeding r-k. In this paper, we develop some basic results concerning k-paving matroids and their connections with codes. Also, we determine all binary 2-paving matroids. (~

Using an earlier characterization of simplicial hypergraphs we obtain a characterization of binary simplicial matroids in terms of the existence of a special base.
In this paper, we prove that any simple and cosimple connected binary matroid has at least four connected hyperplanes. We further prove that each element in such a matroid is contained in at least two connected hyperplanes. Our main result generalizes a matroid result of Kelmans, and independently,
A family of subsets of a ground set closed under the operation of taking symmetric differences is the family of cycles of a binary matroid. Its circuits are the minimal members of this collection. We use this basic property to derive binary matroids from binary matroids. In particular, we derive two
