On the Power Method in Max Algebra

The eigenvalue problem for an irreducible nonnegative matrix A = a ij ] in the max algebra system is A x = x, where (A x) i = max j (a ij x j) and turns out to be the maximum circuit geometric mean, (A). A power method algorithm is given to compute (A) and eigenvector x. This method generalizes and simpliies an algorithm due to Braker and Olsder. The algorithm is developed by using results on t...

On Some Properties of the Max Algebra System Over Tensors

Recently we generalized the max algebra system to the class of nonnegative  tensors. In this paper we give some basic properties for the left (right) inverse, under the new system. The existence of order 2 left (right) inverse of tensors is characterized. Also we generalize the direct product of matrices to the direct product of tensors (of the same order, but may be different dimensions) and i...

اندیشمندان و صاحب نظران علوم اجتماعی بر این باورند که مرحله تازه ای در تاریخ جوامع بشری اغاز شده است. ویژگیهای این جامعه نو را می توان پدیده هایی از جمله اقتصاد اطلاعاتی جهانی ، هندسه متغیر شبکه ای، فرهنگ مجاز واقعی ، توسعه حیرت انگیز فناوری های دیجیتال، خدمات پیوسته و نیز فشردگی زمان و مکان برشمرد. از سوی دیگر قدرت به عنوان موضوع اصلی علم سیاست جایگاه مهمی در روابط انسانی دارد، قدرت و بازتولید...

On the Combinatorial Aspects of Max–Algebra

Let a ⊕ b = max(a, b), a ⊗ b = a + b for a, b ∈ R := R ∪ {−∞}. By max-algebra we understand the analogue of linear algebra developed for the pair of operations (⊕,⊗) extended to matrices and vectors. Max-algebra, which has been studied for more than 40 years, is an attractive way of describing a class of nonlinear problems appearing for instance in machine-scheduling, information technology and...
