The purpose of this paper is to answer a question of Ingleton by characterizing the class of ternary transversal matroids.
This paper considers representations of ternary matroids over fields other than GF(3). It is shown that a 3-connected ternary matroid representable over a finite field F has at most IFI -2 inequivalent representations over F. This resolves a special case of a conjecture of Kahn in the affirmative.
Let M and N be ternary matroids having the same rank and the same ground set, and assume that every independent set in N is also independent in M. The main result of this paper proves that if M is 3-connected and N is connected and non-binary, then M = N . A related result characterizes precisely wh
A matroid or oriented matroid is dyadic if it has a rational representation with all nonzero subdeterminants in [ \2 k : k # Z]. Our main theorem is that an oriented matroid is dyadic if and only if the underlying matroid is ternary. A consequence of our theorem is the recent result of G. Whittle th
