The Maslov dequantization, idempotent and tropical mathematics: A brief introduction
Grigori L. Litvinov · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2005
This paper is a brief introduction to idempotent and tropical mathematics. Tropical mathematics can be treated as a result of the so-called Maslov dequantization of the traditional mathematics over numerical fields as the Planck constant $\hbar$ tends to zero taking imaginary values.
