In addition to providing the linear-algebraic background in the field of tropical mathematics, max-algebra provides mathematical theory and techniques for solving various nonlinear problems arising in areas such as manufacturing, transportation, allocation of resources and information processing technology. It is, therefore, a significant topic spanning both pure and applied mathematical fields. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA welcome introduction to the subject of max-plus (tropical) linear algebra, and in particular algorithmic problems, \u003ci\u003eMax-linear Systems: Theory and Algorithms offers a consolidation of both new and existing literature, thus filling a much-needed gap. Providing the fundamentals of max-algebraic theory in a comprehensive and unified form, in addition to more advanced material with an emphasis on feasibility and reachability, this book presents a number of new research results. Topics covered range from max-linear systems and the eigenvalue-eigenvector problem to periodic behavior of matrices, max-linear programs, linear independence, and matrix scaling. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book assumes no prior knowledge of max-algebra and much of the theoryis illustrated with numerical examples, complemented by exercises, and accompanied by both practical and theoretical applications. Open problems are also demonstrated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fresh and pioneering approach to the topic of Max-linear Systems, this book will hold a wide-ranging readership, and will be useful for: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- anyone with basic mathematical knowledge wishing to learn essential max-algebraic ideas and techniques \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- undergraduate and postgraduate students of mathematics or a related degree \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- mathematics researchers \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- mathematicians working in industry, commerce or management\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45274871595159,"sku":"9781849962988","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781849962988.webp?v=1769281188","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/max-linear-systems-theory-and-algorithms-9781849962988","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
