Count matroids of group-labeled graphs

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: A graph G=(V,E) is called (k,ell)-sparse if |F|leqk|V(F)|ell for any nonempty FsubseteqE, where V(F) denotes the set of vertices incident to F. It is known that the family of the edge sets of (k,ell)-sparse subgraphs forms the family of independent sets of a matroid, called the (k,ell)-count matroid of G. In this paper we shall investigate lifts of the (k,ell)-count matroid by using group labelings on the edge set. By introducing a new notion called near-balancedness, we shall identify a new class of matroids, where the independence condition is described as a count condition of the form |F|leqk|V(F)|ell+alphapsi(F) for some function alphapsi determined by a given group labeling psi on E.
