Solving Linear Equations Over Maxmin- Systems

Muhammad Syifa'ul Mufid, Ebrahim Patel, Sergei Sergeev

Maxmin- dynamical systems were previously introduced as an ``all-in-one package'' that can yield a solely min-plus, a solely max-plus, or a max-min-plus dynamical system by vary…

Signed tropicalization of polar cones

Marianne Akian, Xavier Allamigeon, Stéphane Gaubert +1

We study the tropical analogue of the notion of polar of a cone, working over the semiring of tropical numbers with signs. We characterize the cones which arise as polars of sets o…

New bounds on the periodicity transient of the powers of a tropical matrix: using cyclicity and factor rank

Arthur Kennedy-Cochran-Patrick, Glenn Merlet, Thomas Nowak +1

Building on the weak CSR approach developed in a previous paper by Merlet, Nowak and Sergeev, we establish new bounds for the periodicity threshold of the powers of a tropical matr…

Optimal Assignments with Supervisions

Adi Niv, Marie Maccaig, Sergei Sergeev

In this paper we provide a new graph theoretic proof of the tropical Jacobi identity, recently obtained in [AGN16]. We also develop an application of this theorem to optimal assign…

Reachability of eigenspaces for interval circulant matrices in max-algebra

Jan Plavka, Sergei Sergeev

A nonnegative matrix A is said to be strongly robust if its max-algebraic eigencone is universally reachable, i.e., if the orbit of any initial vector ends up with a max-algebraic…
