On a Unimodality Conjecture in Matroid Theory
A certain unimodal conjecture in matroid theory states the number of rank- r matroids on a set of size n is unimodal in r and attains its maximum at r=⌊ n/2 ⌋. We show that this conjecture holds up to r=3 by constructing a map from a class of rank-2 matroids into the class of loopless rank-3...
