A note on the characteristic equation in the max-plus algebra
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the characteristic equation of a matrix in the maxplus algebra. In their Linear Algebra and Its Applications paper (vol. 101, pp. 87– 108, 1988) Olsder and Roos have used a transformation between the max-plus algebra and linear algebra to show that the Cayley-Hamilton theorem also holds in the max-plus algebra. We show that the derivation of Olsder and Roos is not entirely correct and we give the correct formulas for the coefficients of this alternative version of the max-algebraic characteristic equation. We also give a counterexample for a conjecture of Olsder in which he states necessary and sufficient conditions for the coefficients of the max-algebraic characteristic equation.

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.

No polynomial algorithms are known for finding the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial and characteristic equation of a matrix in max-algebra. The following are proved: (1) The task of finding the max-algebraic characteristic polynomial for permutation matrices encoded using the lengths of their constituent cycles is IVP-complete. (2) The task of finding the lowest order finite term o...

متن کاملA note on unique solvability of the absolute value equation
It is proved that applying sufficient regularity conditions to the interval matrix $[A-|B|,A + |B|]$, we can create a new unique solvability condition for the absolute value equation $Ax + B|x|=b$, since regularity of interval matrices implies unique solvability of their corresponding absolute value equation. This condition is formulated in terms of positive deniteness of a certain point matrix...
