A note on the lattice of 2-matroid-intersections (Q2641310)

By considering a matroid generalization of the graphic matroid on the \(K_ 4\) it is shown that in general the lattice generated by the common bases of a matroid M and a partition matroid Q (which satisfy a rank- condition) is not the intersection of the two lattices associated with the bases of M and Q, respectively. (Which is true for the intersection of two partition-matroids and that of an arbitrary matroid with a bipartition matroid.)
