And it is based on equivalence relations or partitions. Matroid theory is a structure that generalizes linear independence in vector spaces, and has a variety of applications in many fields. In this paper, we propose a new type of matroids, namely, partition-circuit matroids, which are induced by partitions. Firstly, a partition satisfies circuit axioms in matroid theory, then it can induce a matroid which is called a partition-circuit matroid.
