It follows by Bixbys Lemma that if $e$ is an element of a $3$-connected matroid $M$, then either $mathrm{co}(Mbackslash e)$, the cosimplification of $Mbackslash e$, or $mathrm{si}(M/e)$, the simplification of $M/e$, is $3$-connected. A natural question to ask is whether $M$ has an element $e$ such that both $mathrm{co}(Mbackslash e)$ and $mathrm{si}(M/e)$ are $3$-connected. Calling such an element elastic, in this paper we show that if $|E(M)|ge 4$, then $M$ has at least four elastic elements provided $M$ has no $4$-element fans.
A finite graph $G$ is said to be {em $(G,3)$-$($connected$)$ homogeneous} if every isomorphism between any two isomorphic (connected) subgraphs of order at most $3$ extends to an automorphism $gin G$ of the graph, where $G$ is a group of automorphism
We introduce delta-graphic matroids, which are matroids whose bases form graphic delta-matroids. The class of delta-graphic matroids contains graphic matroids as well as cographic matroids and is a proper subclass of the class of regular matroids. We
A multigraph is exactly k-edge-connected if there are exactly k edge-disjoint paths between any pair of vertices. We characterize the class of exactly 3-edge-connected graphs, giving a synthesis involving two operations by which every exactly 3-edge-
Let $cX$ be a family of subsets of a finite set $E$. A matroid on $E$ is called an $cX$-matroid if each set in $cX$ is a circuit. We consider the problem of determining when there exists a unique maximal $cX$-matroid in the weak order poset of all $c
We investigate valuated matroids with an additional algebraic structure on their residue matroids. We encode the structure in terms of representability over stringent hyperfields. A hyperfield $H$ is {em stringent} if $aboxplus b$ is a singleton un
