AbstractThe composition of a quotient matroid Q over a collection of component matroids f1, …, fn indexed on the cells of Q, is described. This composition, called quotient composition, may be viewed as an application of clutter composition to matroids, or as a generalization of matroid direct sum composition to the next higher connectivity. It may also be viewed as equivalent to compositions described by Minty in 1966, and Brylawski in 1971.Quotient composition is characterized, and the circuits and rank function of a composed matroid are given. Various other properties are described, along with a category for quotient composition.
