Multi-Directed Hypergraph Representations of {0,+1,−1}-Matrices

Abstract for the Combinatorics Seminar
2009 January 30

A multi-directed hypergraph is a combinatorial representation of {0,+1,−1}-matrices that extends the concepts of signed graphs to hypergraphic analogs. The column dependencies of a {0,+1,−1}-matrix can be classified using multi-directed hypergraphs. The classification of column dependencies of matrices corresponding to multi-directed hypergraphs whose edge size is two or less is already known. I will discuss the basic structure of multi-directed hypergraphs and the classification of the column dependencies of any {0,+1,−1}-matrix.
