TY - GEN AB - 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 AU - Pitsoulis, Leonidas S.
