Tree automata and pigeonhole classes of matroids: II

Let $\psi$ be a sentence in the counting monadic second-order logic of matroids and let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field. Hlin\v{e}n'{y}'s Theorem says that we can test whether $\mathbb{F}$-representable matroids satisfy $\psi$ using an algorithm that is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to branch-width. In a previous paper we proved there is a similar fixed-parameter tractable algorithm that can test the members of any efficiently pigeonhole class. In this sequel we apply results from the first paper and thereby extend Hlin\v{e}n'{y}'s Theorem to the classes of fundamental transversal matroids, lattice path matroids, bicircular matroids, and $H$-gain-graphic matroids, when $H$ is a finite group. As a consequence, we can obtain a new proof of Courcelle’s Theorem.
