Combinatorial Hopf algebra of matroids
Last modified: 2014-02-01
Abstract
Matroids are combinatorial structures that capture the notion of independence. The combinatorial Hopf algebra of matroids have been recently introduced by Billera, Jia and Reiner. The assigned quasisymmetric function is a combinatorial invariant of matroids. We study this invariant under matroid operations.
