A NOTE ON THE INDEPENDENCE NUMBER OF AN IDENTICALLY SELF-DUAL PERFECT MATROID DESIGNDanut MarcuFaculty of Mathematics, University of Bucharest, Academiei 14, 70109 Bucharest, RomaniaAbstract: Let $E$ be a finite set and $M(E,r)$ an identically self-dual perfect matroid design on $E$, with hyperplane cardinality $c(M)$, and $r$ as a rank function. If $M$ is not the $r(E)$-uniform matroid, we show that its independence number equals $c(M)-1$. Classification (MSC2000): 05B35 Full text of the article:
