-level 2-sum of two matroids.
The second part checks legitimacy: the ground sets of M₁
and M₂
are disjoint except for the element a ∈ M₁.X ∩ M₂.Y
,
and the bottom-most row of M₁
and the left-most column of M₂
are each nonzero vectors.

Binary matroid M
is a result of 2-summing M₁
and M₂
in some way.

Any 2-sum of regular matroids is a regular matroid. This is the middle of the three parts of the easy direction of the Seymour's theorem.
If a regular matroid is a 2-sum, then the left summand of the 2-sum is regular.
If a regular matroid is a 2-sum, then the right summand of the 2-sum is regular.
