چکیده
Considering measure theory in which the semifield of positive real numbers is replaced by an idempotent semiring leads to the notion of idempotent measure introduced by Maslov. Then, idempotent measures or integrals with density correspond to supremums of functions for the partial order relation induced by the idempotent structure. In this paper, we give conditions under which an idempotent measure has a density and show by many examples that they are often satisfied. These conditions depend on the lattice structure of the semiring and on the Boolean algebra in which the measure is defined. As an application, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a family of probabilities to satisfy the large deviation principle as defined by Varadhan. Key-words: Idempotent semiring, Dioid, Max-plus algebra, Continuous lattice, Idempotent measure, Optimization, Large deviations.

Les mesures ou intégrales idempotentes à densité correspondent alors à des supremums de fonctions pour la relation d’ordre partiel induite par la structure idempotente. Nous donnons ici des conditions pour qu’une mesure idempotente ait une densité et montrons par de nombreux exemples qu’elles sont souvent verifiées. Ces conditions portent à la fois sur la structure de treillis du demi-anneau et sur l’algèbre de Boole sur laquelle la mesure est définie. On trouve alors un critère pour qu’une famille de probabilités satisfasse au principe des grandes déviations tel qu’il est défini par Varadhan.

متن کاملTheory of cost measures : convergence of decision variables
Considering probability theory in which the semifield of positive real numbers is replaced by the idempotent semifield of real numbers (union infinity) endowed with the min and plus laws leads to a new formalism for optimization. Probability measures correspond to minimums of functions that we call cost measures, whereas random variables correspond to constraints on these optimization problems ...

متن کاملDuality between Probability and Optimization
Following the theory of idempotent measures of Maslov, a formalism analogous to probability calculus is obtained for optimization by replacing the classical structure of real numbers (R;+; ) by the idempotent semield obtained by endowing the set R [ f+1g with the \min" and \+" operations. To the probability of an event corresponds the cost of a set of decisions. To random variables correspond d...
