Abstract

We investigated the matroid of the degree-d Macaulay matrix of a conic polynomial, a problem with applications in tropical geometry. Employing graph-theoretic methods and Macaulay2 programs, we analysed the 0-determinant submatrices of the Macaulay matrix satisfying the Fink-Giansiracusa condition. We uncovered a novel method for generating singular submatrices satisfying this condition, in arbitrary degree, through the embedding of singular minors from lower degrees.
