Max-plus LU
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new method for the a priori approximation of the order of magnitude of the entries in the LU factors of a matrix A ∈ Cn×n. We are also able to predict which permutation matrices will be chosen by partial pivoting or complete pivoting Gaussian elimination. Our method uses maxplus algebra and is based purely on the modulii of the entries in the matrix. This approximation can be used in the construction of ILU preconditioners, where the max-plus LU approximation can be used to quickly determine the positions of the largest entries in the LU factors. These positions can subsequently be used as the sparsity pattern for an ILU preconditioner.

The QR decomposition and the singular value decomposition in the symmetrized max-plus algebra∗
In this paper we discuss matrix decompositions in the symmetrized max-plus algebra. The max-plus algebra has maximization and addition as basic operations. In contrast to linear algebra many fundamental problems in the max-plus algebra still have to be solved. In this paper we discuss max-algebraic analogues of some basic matrix decompositions from linear algebra. We show that we can use algori...

This paper is an updated and extended version of the paper “The QR decomposition and the singular value decomposition in the symmetrized max-plus algebra” (by B. De Schutter and B. De Moor, SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, vol. 19, no. 2, pp. 378–406, April 1998). The max-plus algebra, which has maximization and addition as its basic operations, can be used to describe and anal...
متن کاملMax-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.
