Matroid Independence and Basis axioms

Matroids in mathlib are defined axiomatically in terms of bases, but can be described just as naturally via their collections of independent sets, and in fact such a description, being more 'verbose', can often be useful. As well as this, the definition of a Matroid uses an unwieldy 'maximality' axiom that can be dropped in cases where there is some finiteness assumption.

This file provides several ways to do define a matroid in terms of its independence or base predicates, using axiom sets that are appropriate in different settings, and often much simpler than the general definition. It also contains simp lemmas and typeclasses as appropriate.

All the independence axiom sets need nontriviality (the empty set is independent), monotonicity (subsets of independent sets are independent), and some form of 'augmentation' axiom, which allows one to enlarge a non-maximal independent set. This augmentation axiom is still required when there are finiteness assumptions, but is simpler. It just states that if I is a finite independent set and J is a larger finite independent set, then there exists e ∈ J \ I for which insert e I is independent. This is the axiom that appears in all most of the definitions.

Implementation Details

To facilitate building a matroid from its independent sets, we define a structure IndepMatroid which has a ground set E, an independence predicate Indep, and some axioms as its fields. This structure is another encoding of the data in a Matroid; the function IndepMatroid.matroid constructs a Matroid from an IndepMatroid.

This is convenient because if one wants to define M : Matroid α from a known independence predicate Ind, it is easier to define an M' : IndepMatroid α so that M'.Indep = Ind and then set M = M'.matroid than it is to directly define M with the base axioms. The simp lemma IndepMatroid.matroid_indep_iff is important here; it shows that M.Indep = Ind, so the Matroid constructed is the right one, and the intermediate IndepMatroid can be made essentially invisible by the simplifier when working with M.

Because of this setup, we don't define any API for IndepMatroid, as it would be a redundant copy of the existing API for Matroid.Indep. (In particular, one could define a natural equivalence e : IndepMatroid α ≃ Matroid α with e.toFun = IndepMatroid.matroid, but this would be pointless, as there is no need for the inverse of e).

Main definitions

• IndepMatroid α is a matroid structure on α described in terms of its independent sets in full generality, using infinite versions of the axioms.

• IndepMatroid.matroid turns M' : IndepMatroid α into M : Matroid α with M'.Indep = M.Indep.

• IndepMatroid.ofFinitary constructs an IndepMatroid whose associated Matroid is Finitary in the special case where independence of a set is determined only by that of its finite subsets. This construction uses Zorn's lemma.

• IndepMatroid.ofBdd constructs an IndepMatroid in the case where there is some known absolute upper bound on the size of an independent set. This uses the infinite version of the augmentation axiom; the corresponding Matroid is FiniteRk.

• IndepMatroid.ofBddAugment is the same as the above, but with a finite augmentation axiom.

• IndepMatroid.ofFinite constructs an IndepMatroid from a finite ground set in terms of its independent sets.

• IndepMatroid.ofFinset constructs an IndepMatroid α whose corresponding matroid is Finitary from an independence predicate on Finset α.

• IndepMatroid.ofExistsMatroid constructs a 'copy' of a matroid that is known only existentially, but whose independence predicate is known explicitly.

• Matroid.ofExistsFiniteBase constructs a matroid from its bases, if it is known that one of them is finite. This gives a FiniteRk matroid.

• Matroid.ofBaseOfFinite constructs a Finite matroid from its bases.

structure IndepMatroid (α : Type u_2) : Type u_2

A matroid as defined by the independence axioms. This is the same thing as a Matroid, and so does not need its own API; it exists to make it easier to construct a matroid from its independent sets. The constructed IndepMatroid can then be converted into a matroid with IndepMatroid.matroid.

• E : Set α

  The ground set

• Indep : Set α → Prop

  The independence predicate

• indep_empty : self.Indep ∅
• indep_subset : ∀ ⦃I J : Set α⦄, self.Indep J → I ⊆ J → self.Indep I
• indep_aug : ∀ ⦃I B : Set α⦄, self.Indep I → I ∉ maximals (fun (x x_1 : Set α) => x ⊆ x_1) {I : Set α | self.Indep I} → B ∈ maximals (fun (x x_1 : Set α) => x ⊆ x_1) {I : Set α | self.Indep I} → ∃ x ∈ B \ I, self.Indep (insert x I)
• indep_maximal : ∀ X ⊆ self.E, Matroid.ExistsMaximalSubsetProperty self.Indep X
• subset_ground : ∀ (I : Set α), self.Indep I → I ⊆ self.E

An independence predicate satisfying the finite matroid axioms determines a matroid, provided independence is determined by its behaviour on finite sets. This fundamentally needs choice, since it can be used to prove that every vector space has a basis.
