              Abstract
              We introduce a notion of duality—due to Brylawski—that generalizes matroid duality to arbitrary rank functions This allows us to define a generalization of the matroid Tutte polynomial This polynomial satisfies a deletioncontraction recursion where deletion and contraction are defined in this more general setting We explore this notion of duality for greedoids antimatroids and demimatroids proving that matroids correspond precisely to objects that are simultaneously greedoids and “dual” greedoids
