Semigroup identities of supertropical matrices

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We prove that, for any n, the monoid of all n× n supertropical matrices extending tropical matrices satisfies nontrivial semigroup identities; in particular, such supertropical triangular matrices admit exactly the same identities satisfied by tropical triangular matrices. These semigroup identities are carried over to labeled-weighted digraphs with double arcs.
