A tropical (or min-plus) semiring is a set $\mathbb{Z}$ (or $\mathbb{Z \cup \{\infty\}}$) endowed with two operations: $\oplus$, which is just usual minimum, and $\odot$, which is usual addition. In tropical algebra the vector $x$ is a…

One-sided linear systems of the form ``$Ax=b$'' are well-known and extensively studied over the tropical (max-plus) semiring and wide classes of related idempotent semirings. The usual approach is to first find the greatest solution to such…

In this paper, we present methods for solving a system of linear equations, $ AX=b $, over tropical semirings. To this end, if possible, we first reduce the order of the system through some row-column analysis, and obtain a new system with…
