Kajitani–Ueno–Miyano's Hamiltonian matroid conjecture

Let M=(E,I)M=(E,\mathcal{I}) be a matroid with rank function rr. It is Hamiltonian if some cyclic ordering of EE has the property that every segment of r(M)r(M) consecutive elements is a basis of MM. It is uniformly dense if, for every nonempty subset XEX\subseteq E,

Xr(X)Er(E).\frac{|X|}{r(X)}\leqslant\frac{|E|}{r(E)}.

Kajitani–Ueno–Miyano's conjecture. A matroid MM is Hamiltonian if and only if it is uniformly dense. Hamiltonian matroids are known to be uniformly dense, while the converse is stated as a conjecture and is not resolved in the supplied text.
