Rank functions and invariants of delta-matroids
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 32 (2025) no. 2
In this note, we give a rank function axiomatization for delta-matroids and study the corresponding rank generating function. We relate an evaluation of the rank generating function to the number of independent sets of the delta-matroid, and we prove a log-concavity result for that evaluation using the theory of Lorentzian polynomials.
