Choice functions in the intersection of matroids

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove a common generalization of two results, one on rainbow fractional matchings and one on rainbow sets in the intersection of two matroids: Given d=rlceilkceil−r+1 functions of size (=sum of values) k that are all independent in each of r given matroids, there exists a rainbow set of supp(fi), ileqd, supporting a function with the same properties.


Summary: We prove a common generalization of two results, one on rainbow fractional matchings [\textit{R. Aharoni}, \textit{R. Holzman} and \textit{Z. Jiang}, ``Rainbow fractional matchings, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1805.09732}] and one on rainbow sets in the intersection of two matroids [\textit{D. Kotlar} and \textit{R. Ziv}, Discrete Math. 338, No. 5, 695--697 (2015; Zbl 1306.05028)]: Given \(d=r\lceil k\rceil -r+1\) functions of size (= sum of values) \(k\) that are all independent in each of \(r\) given matroids, there exists a rainbow set of \(\mathrm{supp}(f_i)\), \(i \le d\), supporting a function with the same properties.
