Boolean Representations of Simplicial Complexes and Matroids by John Rhodes
English | PDF | 2015 | 179 Pages | ISBN : 3319151134 | 2.3 MB
This self-contained monograph explores a new theory centered around boolean representations of simplicial complexes leading to a new class of complexes featuring matroids as central to the theory. The book illustrates these new tools to study the classical theory of matroids as well as their important geometric connections. Moreover, many geometric and topological features of the theory of matroids find their counterparts in this extended context.
