Recently there has been much interest in "sparsifying" sums of rank one matrices: modifying the coefficients such that only a few are nonzero, while approximately preserving the matrix that results from the sum. Results of this sort have…
We consider problems of rating alternatives based on their pairwise comparison under various assumptions, including constraints on the final scores of alternatives. The problems are formulated in the framework of tropical mathematics to…

Finding the solutions to a system of multivariate polynomial equations is a fundamental problem in mathematics and computer science. It involves evaluating the polynomials at many points, often chosen from a grid. In most current methods,…
We consider the iterative solution of large linear systems of equations in which the coefficient matrix is the sum of two terms, a sparse matrix $A$ and a possibly dense, rank deficient matrix of the form $\gamma UU^T$, where $\gamma > 0$…
This is the first of two papers to describe a matrix sparsification algorithm that takes a general real or complex matrix as input and produces a sparse output matrix of the same size. The non-zero entries in the output are chosen to…
We introduce a scheme-theoretic enrichment of the principal objects of tropical geometry. Using a category of semiring schemes, we construct tropical hypersurfaces as schemes over idempotent semirings such as $\mathbb{T} = (\mathbb{R}\cup…
This paper is a survey on universal algorithms for solving the matrix Bellman equations over semirings and especially tropical and idempotent semirings. However, original algorithms are also presented. Some applications and software…
We present an algorithm to reduce the computational effort for the multiplication of a given matrix with an unknown column vector. The algorithm decomposes the given matrix into a product of matrices whose entries are either zero or integer…
Given a curve defined over an algebraically closed field which is complete with respect to a nontrivial valuation, we study its tropical Jacobian. This is done by first tropicalizing the curve, and then computing the Jacobian of the…
We consider inverse problems for non-linear hyperbolic and elliptic equations and give an introduction to the method based on the multiple linearization, or on the construction of artificial sources, to solve these problems. The method is…
Asymptotic properties of matrices are, in general, difficult to analyze with classical mathematical techniques. In very specific cases, there is a well-known connection between the asymptotic behavior of a matrix's leading eigenvector and…
The tropical semiring is a semiring of extended real numbers, where the operations of `max' and `+' replace the usual addition and multiplication, respectively. Difference equations obtained from the ultradiscrete limit of discrete…
We define a formal framework for the study of algebras of type Max-plus, Min-Plus, tropical algebras, and more generally algebras over a commutative idempotent semi-field. This work is motivated by the increasingly diversified use of these…
The tropical semiring is an algebraic system with addition ``$\max$'' and multiplication ``$+$''. As well as in conventional algebra, linear programming in the tropical semiring has been developed. In this study, we introduce a new type of…
We consider the question of when points in tropical affine space uniquely determine a tropical hypersurface. We introduce a notion of multiplicity of points so that this question may be meaningful even if some of the points coincide. We…
This paper proposes a verification method for sparse linear systems $Ax=b$ with general and nonsingular coefficients. A verification method produces the error bound for a given approximate solution. Conventional methods use one of two…
We study tropical commuting matrices from two viewpoints: linear algebra and algebraic geometry. In classical linear algebra, there exist various criteria to test whether two square matrices commute. We ask for similar criteria in the realm…
We give a new theoretical tool to solve sparse systems with finitely many solutions. It is based on toric varieties and basic linear algebra; eigenvalues, eigenvectors and coefficient matrices. We adapt Eigenvalue theorem and Eigenvector…
Curve singularities are classical objects of study in algebraic geometry. The key player in their combinatorial structure is the {\it value semigroup}, or its compactification, the {\it value semiring}. One natural problem is to explicitly…
