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
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,
## Abstract A wellβknown result of Tutte states that a 3βconnected graph __G__ is planar if and only if every edge of __G__ is contained in exactly two induced nonβseparating circuits. Bixby and Cunningham generalized Tutte's result to binary matroids. We generalize both of these results and give n
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
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
