A matroid N is a lift of a binary matroid M , if N = Q\X when Q/X = M for some binary matroid Q and X ⊆ E(Q) and is called an elementary lift of M , if |X| = 1. A splitting operation on a binary matroid can result in an elementary lift. An elementary lift of a cographic or a graphic matroid need not be cographic or graphic. We intend to characterize the cographic matroids whose elementary lift is a graphic matroid.
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.
