Max-Plus Algebra

In max-plus algebra we work with the max-plus semi-ring which is the set ℝ<sub>max</sub>=[-∞)∪ℝ together with operations 𝑎⊕𝑏 = max(𝑎,𝑏) and 𝑎⊗𝑏= 𝑎+𝑏.  The additive and multiplicative identities are taken to be ε=-∞ and ε=0 respectively. Max-plus algebra is one of many idempotent semi-rin...
