A binary frame template is a device for creating binary matroids from graphic or cographic matroids. Such matroids are said to conform or coconform to the template. We introduce a preorder on these templates and determine the nontrivial templates that are minimal with respect to this order. As an application of our main result, we determine the eventual growth rates of certain minor-closed classes of binary matroids, including the class of binary matroids with no minor isomorphic to PG(3,2…

Subject to hypotheses based on the matroid structure theory of Geelen, Gerards, and Whittle, the highly connected members of the class of golden-mean matroids are completely characterized and this leads to a determination of the eventual extremal functions for these classes.
On The Density of Binary Matroids Without
This thesis is motivated by the following question: how many elements can a simple binary matroid with no PG(t, 2)-minor have? This is a natural analogue of questions asked about the density of

It is shown that the number of excluded minors for these classes can be drastically reduced if in each class only the highly connected matroids of sufficient size are considered.
