A strong connection between this characterization and polarities of projective geometries is explained. Using this connection, a few results in the minimum rank problem are derived by applying some known results from projective geometry.23 pages, 5 figures, 1 Sage programCombinatorics05C50, 05C75, 15A03, 05B25, 51E20The minimum rank problem over finite fieldstext
