Finite strict gammoids, introduced in the early 1970s, are matroids defined via finite digraphs equipped with some set of sinks: a set of vertices is independent if it admits a linkage to these sinks. An independent set is maximal precisely if it admits a linkage onto the sinks. In the infinite setting, this characterization of the maximal independent sets need not hold. We identify a type of substructure as the unique obstruction to the characterization. We then show that the sets linkable onto the sinks form the bases of a (possibly non-finitary) matroid precisely when the substructure does not occur.
Building on a bijection of Vandervelde, we enumerate certain unimodal sequences whose alternating sum equals zero. This enables us to refine the enumeration of strict partitions with respect to the number of parts and the BG-rank.
A computer search through the oriented matroid programs with dimension 5 and 10 facets shows that the maximum strictly monotone diameter is 5. Thus $Delta_{sm}(5,10)=5$. This enumeration is analogous to that of Bremner and Schewe for the non-monotone
Let $G$ be a graph and ${mathcal{tau}}: V(G)rightarrow Bbb{N}cup {0}$ be an assignment of thresholds to the vertices of $G$. A subset of vertices $D$ is said to be a dynamic monopoly corresponding to $(G, tau)$ if the vertices of $G$ can be partition
Tree sets are abstract structures that can be used to model various tree-shaped objects in combinatorics. Finite tree sets can be represented by finite graph-theoretical trees. We extend this representation theory to infinite tree sets. First we ch
For any subset $A subseteq mathbb{N}$, we define its upper density to be $limsup_{ n rightarrow infty } |A cap { 1, dotsc, n }| / n$. We prove that every $2$-edge-colouring of the complete graph on $mathbb{N}$ contains a monochromatic infinite path,
