Abstract

We provide a complete classification of matrix semirings Mn(S)\mathbf{M}_n(S) over two-element additively idempotent semirings SS with respect to the finite basis property.Our main theorem shows that for every integer n2n \geq 2,the semiring Mn(S)\mathbf{M}_n(S) is finitely based if and only if SS is distinct from a distributive lattice.
