摘要
Let M be an excluded minor for the class of P-representable matroids for some partial field P, and let N be a 3-connected strong P-stabilizer that is non-binary. We prove that either M is bounded relative to N, or, up to replacing M by a Delta-Y-equivalent excluded minor, we can choose a pair of elements {a, b} such that either M\{a, b} is N-fragile, or M*\{a, b} is N*-fragile.
