%0 Journal Article %T Contraction and restriction of positroids in terms of decorated permutations %A Suho Oh %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X A positroid is a matroid defined by Postnikov to study the cells in the non-negative part of the Grassmannian. They are in bijection with decorated permutations. We show a way to explain contraction and restriction of positroids in terms of decorated permutations. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.0882v3
