We study the behavior of max-algebraic powers of a reducible nonnegative n by n matrix A. We show that for t>3n^2, the powers A^t can be expanded in max-algebraic powers of the form CS^tR, where C and R are extracted from columns and rows…

Here, we give an algorithm for deciding if the nonnegative rank of a matrix $M$ of dimension $m \times n$ is at most $r$ which runs in time $(nm)^{O(r^2)}$. This is the first exact algorithm that runs in time singly-exponential in $r$. This…

This paper aims to unify and extend existing techniques for deriving upper bounds on the transient of max-plus matrix powers. To this aim, we introduce the concept of weak CSR expansions: A^t=CS^tR + B^t. We observe that most of the known…
