Gabow's cyclic basis conjecture
Gabow's cyclic basis conjecture
Let be a matroid and let
be two bases. Gabow's conjecture. There exist permutations and such that in the sequence
every set of cyclically consecutive elements forms a basis. The conjecture strengthens the two-base case of White's basis sequence exchange problem by requiring a cyclic ordering with all consecutive -element windows independent as bases.
