Matroids :: isPositivelyOriented

isPositivelyOriented -- whether a matroid is positively oriented

Synopsis

Description

This function determines whether a matroid is positively oriented, using a theorem of da Silva (which checks whether any disjoint circuit-cocircuit pair is non-crossing).

i1 : M = matroid({{0,1},{2,3},{4,5}}, EntryMode => "circuits")

o1 = a "matroid" of rank 3 on 6 elements

o1 : Matroid
i2 : isPositivelyOriented M

o2 = false
