Abstract

A submodule W of V is summand absorbing, if x + y W implies x W,y W for any x,y V. Such submodules often appear in modules over (additively) idempotent semirings, particularly in tropical algebra. This paper studies amalgamation and extensions of these submodules, and more generally of upper bound modules.
