This paper proves that, for every integer n exceeding two, there is a number N(n) such that every 3-connected matroid with at least N(n) elements has a minor that is isomorphic to one of the following matroids: an (n+2)-point line or its dual, the cycle or cocycle matroid of K 3, n , the cycle matro
We show that, for every integer n greater than two, there is a number N such that every 3-connected binary matroid with at least N elements has a minor that is isomorphic to the cycle matroid of K 3, n , its dual, the cycle matroid of the wheel with n spokes, or the vector matroid of the binary matr
This paper strengthens the excluded-minor characterization of GF(4)-representable matroids. In particular, it is shown that there are only finitely many 3-connected matroids that are not GF(4)-representable and that have no U 2, 6 -, U 4, 6 -, P 6 -, F & 7 -, or (F & 7 )\*-minors. Explicitly, these
If M is a loopless matroid in which MIX and MI Y are connected and X c~ Y is non-empty, then one easily shows that MI(X u Y) is connected. Likewise, it is straightforward to show that if G and H are n-connected graphs having at least n common vertices, then G u H is nconnected. The purpose of this n
