On Semigroups of Matrices over the Tropical Semiring
نویسنده
چکیده
The tropical semiring M consists of the set of natural numbers extended with innnity, equipped with the operations of taking minimums (as semiring addition) and addition (as semiring multiplication). We use factorization forests to prove niteness results related to semi-groups of matrices over M. Our method is used to recover results of Hashiguchi, Leung and the author in a uniied combinatorial framework .

Comparison of Max-Plus Automata and Joint Spectral Radius of Tropical Matrices
Weighted automata over the tropical semiring Zmax = (Z ∪ {−∞},max,+) are closely related to finitely generated semigroups of matrices over Zmax. In this paper, we use results in automata theory to study two quantities associated with sets of matrices: the joint spectral radius and the ultimate rank. We prove that these two quantities are not computable over the tropical semiring, i.e. there is ...
متن کاملTropical Arithmetic and Tropical Matrix Algebra
This paper introduces a new structure of commutative semiring, generalizing the tropical semiring, and having an arithmetic that modifies the standard tropical operations, i.e. summation and maximum. Although our framework is combinatorial, notions of regularity and invertibility arise naturally for matrices over this semiring; we show that a tropical matrix is invertible if and only if it is r...
متن کاملScalar Ambiguity and Freeness in Matrix Semigroups over Bounded Languages
There has been much research into freeness properties of finitely generated matrix semigroups under various constraints, mainly related to the dimensions of the generator matrices and the semiring over which the matrices are defined. A recent paper has also investigated freeness properties of matrices within a bounded language of matrices, which are of the form M1M2 · · ·Mk ⊆ Fn×n for some semi...
متن کاملThe Tropical Rank of a Tropical Matrix
In this paper we further develop the theory of matrices over the extended tropical semiring. Introducing a notion of tropical linear dependence allows for a natural definition of matrix rank in a sense that coincides with the notions of tropical regularity and invertibility.
متن کاملReachability Problems for Products of Matrices in Semirings
We consider the following matrix reachability problem: given r square matrices with entries in a semiring, is there a product of these matrices which attains a prescribed matrix? We define similarly the vector (resp. scalar) reachability problem, by requiring that the matrix product, acting by right multiplication on a prescribed row vector, gives another prescribed row vector (resp. when multi...
