Lattice path matroids: the excluded minors. (English) Zbl 1231.05054

Summary: A lattice path matroid is a transversal matroid for which some antichain of intervals in some linear order on the ground set is a presentation. We characterize the minor-closed class of lattice path matroids by its excluded minors.
