Tropical support sets in analysis of weak links and complementarity
Vladimir D. Matveenko · Contemporary mathematics - American Mathematical Society · 2014
Properties of increasing positively homogeneous functions are studied; in particular, their representations by use of tropical inner products with coefficients chosen from tropical support sets are described. An application to a model of economic complementarity and weak links is developed. It is shown that weak links do not necessary bound total factor productivity from below but in some cases constraint it from above.
