Oriented Matroid
An oriented matroid can be represented (and defined) in several, equivalent
ways. The basic axiom systems include vector (or covector) axioms,
circuit (or cocircuit) axioms, and chirotopes.
We define here an oriented matroid using the covector axioms:
An oriented matroid is a pair of
a finite set and a set of
sign vectors (called covectors) on
for which the following covector axioms (F0) to (F3)
are valid:
(F0) | . | |
(F1) | If then . | (symmetry) |
(F2) |
If then
, where if and |
(composition) |
(F3) |
For all there exists |
(covector elimination) |
