Tropical analysis

Study of the tropical semiring

In the mathematical discipline of idempotent analysis, tropical analysis is the study of the tropical semiring.

Applications

The max tropical semiring can be used appropriately to determine marking times within a given Petri net and a vector filled with marking state at the beginning: − ∞ {\displaystyle -\infty } (unit for max, tropical addition) means "never before", while 0 (unit for addition, tropical multiplication) is "no additional time".

Tropical cryptography is cryptography based on the tropical semiring.

Tropical geometry is an analog to algebraic geometry, using the tropical semiring.
