Regularity of 1-, 2-, and 3-Sums of Matroids

5 Conclusion

Regular matroid is good. Any 1-sum of good matroids is a good matroid. Any 2-sum of good matroids is a good matroid. Any 3-sum of good matroids is a good matroid.

Any good matroid is regular. This is the easy direction of the Seymour theorem.

Proof

Structural induction.
