This category contains axioms related to Matroid Axioms.


Let $S$ be a finite set.

Let $\mathscr I$ be a set of subsets of $S$.


The matroid axioms are the conditions on $S$ and $\mathscr I$ in order for the ordered pair $\struct {S, \mathscr I}$ to be a matroid:

Axioms 1

\((\text I 1)\)   $:$   \(\ds \O \in \mathscr I \)      
\((\text I 2)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall X \in \mathscr I: \forall Y \subseteq S:\) \(\ds Y \subseteq X \implies Y \in \mathscr I \)      
\((\text I 3)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall U, V \in \mathscr I:\) \(\ds \size V < \size U \implies \exists x \in U \setminus V : V \cup \set x \in \mathscr I \)      


Axioms 2

\((\text I 1)\)   $:$   \(\ds \O \in \mathscr I \)      
\((\text I 2)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall X \in \mathscr I: \forall Y \subseteq S:\) \(\ds Y \subseteq X \implies Y \in \mathscr I \)      
\((\text I 4)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall U, V \in \mathscr I:\) \(\ds \size U = \size V + 1 \implies \exists x \in U \setminus V : V \cup \set x \in \mathscr I \)      


Axioms 3

\((\text I 1)\)   $:$   \(\ds \O \in \mathscr I \)      
\((\text I 2)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall X \in \mathscr I: \forall Y \subseteq S:\) \(\ds Y \subseteq X \implies Y \in \mathscr I \)      
\((\text I 5)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall U, V \in \mathscr I:\) \(\ds \size V < \size U \implies \exists Z \subseteq U \setminus V : \paren{V \cup Z \in \mathscr I} \land \paren{\size{V \cup Z} = \size U} \)      


Axioms 4

\((\text I 1)\)   $:$   \(\ds \O \in \mathscr I \)      
\((\text I 2)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall X \in \mathscr I: \forall Y \subseteq S:\) \(\ds Y \subseteq X \implies Y \in \mathscr I \)      
\((\text I 6)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall A \subseteq S:\) \(\ds \text{ all maximal subsets } Y \subseteq A \text{ with } Y \in \mathscr I \text{ have the same cardinality} \)
