Geelen and Kapadia design randomized polynomial time algorithms for computing girth and cogirth of perturbed graphic matroids \cite{geelen_computing_2018}. They leave an open problem that if there are deterministic polynomial time algorithms. We solve the cogirth part using base packing techniques.

A binary matroid is a low rank perturbed graphic matroid (PGM) if it has a binary representation $A+P$, where $A$ is the incidence matrix of a graph and $P$ is a binary matrix with rank at most a constant $r$.

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and let $\ell:V\to \F_2^{t}$ be a $t$-dimensional coloring on vertices. Given a edge set $C\subset E$ and a coloring $D\in \F_2^{1\times t}$, find a non-empty vertex set $X\subset V$ that minimizes the smaller value of the following two:

Another interesting special case is that $C=\emptyset$ and $D=0$. The problem becomes graph min-cut with congruency constrants,

which is a special case of submodular function minimization under congruency constraints (SFMC) studied by Nägele \etal \cite{nagele_submodular_2019}.

They show that SFMC with constant number of constraints can be solved in polynomial time if the modular is prime. However, the objective in case 2 of \autoref{prob:tdimevencut} is not submodular so their method does not generalize.

We prove that if $M(A)$ is a binary matroid on $(1,t)$-signed-graft and $t$ is a constant then $M(A)/T$ has constant cogirth-packing gap,
