چکیده

We show that the set of realizations of a given dimension of a max-plus linear sequence is a finite union of polyhedral sets, which can be computed from any realization of the sequence. This yields an (expensive) algorithm to solve the max-plus minimal realization problem. These results are derived from general facts on rational expressions over idempotent commutative semirings: we show more generally that the set of values of the coefficients of a commutative rational expression in one letter that yield a given max-plus linear sequence is a finite union of polyhedral sets.

Finite-Horizon Min-Max Control of Max-Plus-Linear Systems

In this note, we provide a solution to a class of finite-horizon min–max control problems for uncertain max-plus-linear systems where the uncertain parameters are assumed to lie in a given convex and compact set, and it is required that the closed-loop input and state sequence satisfy a given set of linear inequality constraints for all admissible uncertainty realizations. We provide sufficient...

Robust control of constrained max-plus-linear systems

SUMMARY Max-plus-linear (MPL) systems are a class of nonlinear systems that can be described by models that are " linear " in the max-plus algebra. We provide here solutions to three types of finite-horizon min-max control problems for uncertain MPL systems, depending on the nature of the control input over which we optimize: open-loop input sequences, disturbances feedback policies, and state ...

Robust portfolio selection with polyhedral ambiguous inputs

 Ambiguity in the inputs of the models is typical especially in portfolio selection problem where the true distribution of random variables is usually unknown. Here we use robust optimization approach to address the ambiguity in conditional-value-at-risk minimization model. We obtain explicit models of the robust conditional-value-at-risk minimization for polyhedral and correlated polyhedral am...

Max-Plus algebra on tensors and its properties

In this paper we generalize the max plus algebra system of real matrices to the class of real tensors and derive its fundamental properties. Also we give some basic properties for the left (right) inverse, under the new system. The existence of order 2 left (right) inverses of tensors is characterized.

Tropical Arithmetic & Algebra of Tropical Matrices

The purpose of this paper is to study the tropical algebra – the algebra over the tropical semi-ring. We start by introducing a third approach to arithmetic over the max-plus semi-ring which generalizes the two other concepts in use. Regarding this new arithmetic, matters of tropical matrices are discussed and the properties of these matrices are studied. These are the preceding phases toward t...
