Hello,
I've googled a little to know more about Matroids that were underlined
by Bertfried Fauser in a recent email (point g in
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2003-12/msg00064.html).
Apparently, the reference for Matroids is:
http://members.aol.com/matroids/
The most simple explanation that I have found is:
http://www.ms.uky.edu/~pagano/Matridx.htm
The MathWorld definition: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Matroid.html
[ Usual disclaimer: I'm not a mathematician, blah blah ]
>From what I have understood, Matroids has several definitions, the most
frequent being related to set theory. Apparently, Matroids can be
related to graph theory and matrices.
However, I've not found a simple explanation on how a Matroid can help
us classify information resulting from Axiom source code. In fact,
Bertfried first email is more clear that all the explanations that I
have found. Bertfried, could you give me some more insights on the use
of Matroids to classify dependent and indepent Axiom information?
Yours,
david
