Tutte-polynomial inequality for simple co-simple matroids
Tutte-polynomial inequality for simple co-simple matroids
Let be a matroid. A matroid is simple if it has no loops or parallel elements, and co-simple if its dual has no loops or parallel elements. Simple co-simple matroid conjecture. Every simple co-simple matroid satisfies
This would follow immediately from the preceding bipartite graph conjecture via the transfer argument. It is an open matroidal strengthening of Jackson's inequality, with the supplied text giving no resolution.
