The Tropical Rank of a Tropical Matrix

Commutative Algebra 2008-09-22 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

In this paper we further develop the theory of matrices over the extended tropical semiring. Introducing a notion of tropical linear dependence allows for a natural definition of matrix rank in a sense that coincides with the notions of tropical regularity and invertibility.
