Combinatorial optimization

a set system that generalizes linear independence, the structure on which the greedy algorithm is exactly optimal.

In combinatorial optimization, matroid refers to a set system that generalizes linear independence, the structure on which the greedy algorithm is exactly optimal. This meaning comes from Whitney (1935) in American Journal of Mathematics.[1]
