Gröbner Representations of Binary Matroids

Abstract

Several constructions in binary linear block codes are also related to matroid theory topics. These constructions rely on a given order in the ground set of the matroid. In this paper we define the Gröbner representation of a binary matroid and we show how it can be used for studying different sets bases, cycles, activity intervals, etc.
