Choice functions in the intersection of matroids


Abstract in English

We prove a common generalization of two results, one on rainbow fractional matchings and one on rainbow sets in the intersection of two matroids: Given $d = r lceil k rceil - r + 1$ functions of size (=sum of values) $k$ that are all independent in each of $r$ given matroids, there exists a rainbow set of $supp(f_i)$, $i leq d$, supporting a function with the same properties.
