摘要: In this paper we introduce a new method to represent matroids by complexes. Such a complex is called a matroid complex. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a complex to be a matroid complex are given and certain concepts in matroid theory are extended to complexes, so that one may solve certain problems concerning matroids by converting them into problems concerning complexes. At the end of this paper some interesting open problems are propesed.
