关于幂集的秩函数

On the Rank Functions of Powerful Sets

Benjamin Jones

摘要:

有限集$E$的子集的集合$S\subseteq 2^E$是\emph{powerful},如果对于所有$X\subseteq E$,$S$中$X$的子集的数目是2的幂。每个幂集都与一个非负整数值函数相关联,我们称之为秩函数。幂集是由法尔和王作为二进制拟阵的推广而引入的,因为二进制拟阵的余圈空间给出了具有相应拟阵秩函数的幂集。在本文中,我们研究如何在一个强大的集的结构特性,其特点是它的秩函数。功能集有四种类型的退化元素,包括循环和coloops。我们表明,某些评价的秩函数的一个强大的集确定退化的元素。我们引入了强大的多重集并证明了它们的一些基本结果。证明了一个强集对应于一个二元拟阵当且仅当它的秩函数是次基数。本文对Farr和Wang的两个论断作了肯定的回答。

英文摘要:

A set $S\subseteq 2^E$ of subsets of a finite set $E$ is \emph{powerful} if, for all $X\subseteq E$, the number of subsets of $X$ in $S$ is a power of 2. Each powerful set is associated with a non-negative integer valued function, which we call the rank function. Powerful sets were introduced by Farr and Wang as a generalisation of binary matroids, as the cocircuit space of a binary matroid gives a powerful set with the corresponding matroid rank function. In this paper we investigate how structural properties of a powerful set can be characterised in terms of its rank function. Powerful sets have four types of degenerate elements, including loops and coloops. We show that certain evaluations of the rank function of a powerful set determine the degenerate elements. We introduce powerful multisets and prove some fundamental results on them. We show that a powerful set corresponds to a binary matroid if and only if its rank function is subcardinal. This paper answers the two conjectures made by Farr and Wang in the affirmative.
