摘要
Networks derived from matroids have played a fundamental role in proving theoretical results about the limits of network coding. In this tutorial paper, we review many connections between matroids and network coding theory, with specific emphasis on network solvability, admissible network alphabet sizes, linear coding, and network capacity.
