چکیده

The max-plus semiring Rmax is the set R∪{−∞}, equipped with the addition (a, b) 7→ max(a, b) and the multiplication (a, b) 7→ a + b. The identity element for the addition, zero, is −∞, and the identity element for the multiplication, unit, is 0. To illuminate the linear algebraic nature of the results, the generic notations +, , × (or concatenation), 0 and 1 are used for the addition, the sum, the multiplication, the zero and the unit of Rmax respectively, so that when a, b belong to Rmax, a+ b will mean max(a, b), a× b or ab will mean the usual sum a + b. We use blackboard (double struck) fonts to denote the max-plus operations (compare “+” with “+”).

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.

The QR Decomposition and the Singular Value Decomposition in the Symmetrized Max-Plus Algebra Revisited

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...

Max-plus algebra and max-plus linear discrete event systems: An introduction

We provide an introduction to the max-plus algebra and explain how it can be used to model a specific class of discrete event systems with synchronization but no concurrency. Such systems are called max-plus linear discrete event systems because they can be described by a model that is “linear” in the max-plus algebra. We discuss some key properties of the max-plus algebra and indicate how thes...

Max-plus algebra and its application in spreading of information

In this paper circulant matrices in max-plus algebra are presented. Circulant matrices are special form of matrices which are entered by vector of inputs. For special types of matrices such as circulant matrices, the computation can often be performed in the simpler way than in the general case. The so-called max-plus algebra is useful for investigation of discrete events systems and the sequen...

Max-plus Singular Values

In this paper we prove a new characterization of the max-plus singular values of a maxplus matrix, as the max-plus eigenvalues of an associated max-plus matrix pencil. This new characterization allows us to compute max-plus singular values quickly and accurately. As well as capturing the asymptotic behavior of the singular values of classical matrices whose entries are exponentially parameteriz...

Scaling, Modeling and Traffic Control of a Real Railway Network using Max-plus Algebra and Model Predictive Control

Delay time recovery can increase the efficiency of the railway network and increase the attractiveness of railway transport against other transportation systems. This article presents a new dynamical model of railway system. The proposed model is a discrete event systems that is defined based on the deviation of travel time and deviation of stop time of trains. Due to the existence of multiple ...
