Matroids having small circumference

From MaRDI portal





For a matroid \(M\) which is not free, the circumference of \(M\) is the maximum cardinality of a circuit of \(M.\) In recent years, the circumference of a matroid has appeared in some bounds. This paper determines all the matroids of circumference at most five. The authors' main result proves, in the special case of \(d=3,\) a conjecture of \textit{W. Hochstättler} and \textit{B. Jackson} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 74, 53-63 (1998; Zbl 0913.05033)] for \(d\)-connected simple binary matroids.
