Homogeneous matroids are characterized by the property that strength equals fractional arboricity, and arise in the study of base modulus [22]. For graphic matroids, Cunningham [9] provided efficient algorithms for calculating graph strength, and also for determining minimum cost reinforcement to achieve a desired strength. This paper extends this latter problem by focusing on two optimal strategies for transforming a matroid into a homogeneous one, by either increasing or decreasing element weights. As an application to graphs, we give algorithms to solve this problem in the context of spanning trees.
