      abstract = {Topics in Matroid Theory provides a brief introduction to  matroid theory with an emphasis on algorithmic  consequences. Matroid theory is at the heart of  combinatorial optimization and has attracted various  pioneers such as Edmonds, Tutte, Cunningham and Lawler  among others. Matroid theory encompasses matrices, graphs  and other combinatorial entities under a common, solid  algebraic framework, thereby providing the analytical tools  to solve related difficult algorithmic problems. The  monograph contains a rigorous axiomatic definition of  matroids along with other necessary concepts such as  dualit},
