We introduce the Almost Intersection Property for pairs of possibly infinite matroids on the same groundset. We prove that if such a pair satisfies the Almost Intersection Property then it satisfies the Matroid Intersection Conjecture of Nash-Williams. We also present some corollaries of that result.
On the Matroid Intersection Conjecture Shadisadat Ghaderi In this dissertation, we investigate the Matroid Intersection Conjecture for pairs of matroids on the same ground set, proposed by Nash-Williams in 1990. Originally, the conjecture was stated for finitary matroids only, but we consider it for general matroids and introduce new approaches to attack the conjecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
