Abstract
A flag matroid can be viewed as a chain of matroids linked by quotients. Flag matroids, of which relatively few interesting families have previously been known, are a particular class of Coxeter matroids. In this paper we give a family of flag matroids arising from an enumeration problem that is a generalization of the tennis ball problem. These flag matroids can also be defined in terms of lattice paths, and they provide a generalization of the lattice path matroids of [J. Bonin, A. de Mier, and M. Noy, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A, 104 (2003), pp. 63–94].
