Furthermore, we show that any pair of positroid quotient with adjacent ranks are related by a cyclic shift on their decorated permutations. We also use the concept of conecklace to give a full characterization of lattice path matroid (LPM) quotient pairs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-11-09T13:08:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05B35" ], "keywords": [ "special classes", "lattice path matroid", "complete characterization", "uniform matroid", "full characterization" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
