Max-Plus Algebra
Marianne Akian, Ravindra B. Bapat, Stéphane Gaubert · 2006
Max-plus algebra has been discovered more or less independently by several schools, in relation with various mathematical fields. This chapter is limited to finite dimensional linear algebra. For more information, the reader may consult the books [ CG79 ], [ Zim81 ], [ CKR84 ], [ BCOQ92 ], [ KM97 ], [ GM02 ], and [ HOvdW06 ]. The collections of articles [ MS92 ], [ Gun98 ], and [ LM05 ] give a good idea of current developments.
