An Z-nt~rfpis is 8 @-I matrix having thk. I+ 7 .Fyaty tha? some permuta-tion of its distinct ~ofutnns is the matrix J: I,* fair some intttgcr r 2 '1. JP is the r * r matrix of all 1's and lr is thbz F X r identity. Given an [-maitrix with r rows. the follc:wing propertie!; arts immediate from the definition: t'vt'v ic.stt:mn cont3ins exactly ant 0, every ruw contains at iejst one 0. ifr = 3, then the symmetric' differenoc of ;tny two rows is the third; and ifr > 3. then the symrnetrk difference of no two rows contains another row.

Let V be a linear space of even dimension n over a field F of characteristic 0. A subspace W ⊂ ∧ 2 V is maximal singular if rank(w) ≤ n -1 for all w ∈ W and any W W ⊂ ∧ 2 V contains a nonsingular matrix. It is shown that if W ⊂ ∧ 2 V is a maximal singular subspace which is generated by decomposable

In this paper, we shall consider the following problem: up to duality, is a connected matroid reconstructible from its connectivity function? Cunningham conjectured that this question has an affirmative answer, but Seymour gave a counter-example for it. In the same paper, Seymour proved that a conne
