| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this thesis is to bound the number of points a $U_{2,\ell+2}$- and $M(K_{k+1})$-minor-free matroid has. We first prove that a sufficiently large matroid will contain a structure called a tower. We then use towers to find a complete minor in a matroid with no $U_{2,\ell+2}$-minor. | en |
