Elementary split matroid asymptotic capture conjecture

At least 3 years old · documented by

For each positive integer nn, let sp⁡(n)\operatorname{sp}(n) and es⁡(n)\operatorname{es}(n) denote the numbers of sparse paving and elementary split matroids on [n][n]. Let sp⁡′(n)\operatorname{sp}'(n) and es⁡′(n)\operatorname{es}'(n) denote the corresponding numbers up to isomorphism. Elementary split capture conjecture.

lim⁡n→∞es⁡(n)−sp⁡(n)mat⁡(n)−sp⁡(n)=1andlim⁡n→∞es⁡′(n)−sp⁡′(n)mat⁡′(n)−sp⁡′(n)=1.\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\operatorname{es}(n)-\operatorname{sp}(n)}{\operatorname{mat}(n)-\operatorname{sp}(n)}=1\qquad\text{and}\qquad\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\operatorname{es}'(n)-\operatorname{sp}'(n)}{\operatorname{mat}'(n)-\operatorname{sp}'(n)}=1.

The conjecture proposes that elementary split matroids asymptotically account for the non-sparse-paving matroids, complementing the sparse-paving predominance conjecture. Its resolution is not given.
