The tropical rank of a semimodule of rational functions on a metric graph mirrors the concept of rank in linear algebra. Defined in terms of the maximal number of tropically independent elements within the semimodule, this quantity has…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary $R$-module. The aim of this paper is to extend the notion of quasi $J$-ideals of commutative rings to quasi $J$-submodules of modules. We call a proper submodule $N$ of $M$ a…
In this paper, we introduce and investigate a new notion of exact sequences of semimodules over semirings relative to the canonical image factorization. Several homological results are proved using the new notion of exactness including some…
We present a practical and powerful new framework for both unconstrained and constrained submodular function optimization based on discrete semidifferentials (sub- and super-differentials). The resulting algorithms, which repeatedly compute…
This is part of an ongoing project to find a general algebraic framework for semiring theory. The structure theory of semirings is quite challenging, largely because of the lack of negation, and such basic properties such as unique…
Consider partial maps from the free monoid into the field of real numbers with a rational domain. We show that two families of such series are actually the same: the unambiguous rational series on the one hand, and the max-plus and min-plus…
Let $T$ be a subset of a ring $A$, and let $M$ be an $A$-module. We study the additive subgroups $F$ of $M$ such that, for all $x \in M$, if $tx \in F$ for some $t \in T$, then $x \in F$. We call any such subset $F$ of $M$ a $T$-factroid of…
By any measure, semisimple modules form one of the most important classes of modules and play a distinguished role in the module theory and its applications. One of the most fundamental results in this area is the Wedderburn-Artin theorem.…
We state the fundamental theorem of projective geometry for semimodules over semirings, which is facilitated by recent work in the study of bases in semimodules defined over semirings. In the process we explore in detail the linear algebra…
We establish new results concerning projectors on max-plus spaces, as well as separating half-spaces, and derive an explicit formula for the distance in Hilbert's projective metric between a point and a half-space over the max-plus…
Iteration semirings are Conway semirings satisfying Conway's group identities. We show that the semirings $\N^{\rat}\llangle \Sigma^* \rrangle$ of rational power series with coefficients in the semiring $\N$ of natural numbers are the free…
Our aim is to find some new links between linear (circular) orderability of groups and topological dynamics. We suggest natural analogs of the concept of algebraic orderability for topological groups involving order-preserving actions on…
Based on the minimal and simple representations, we introduce two Jacobson-type Hoehnke radicals, m-radical and s-radical, of a semiring $S$. Every minimal (simple) $S$-semimodule is a quotient of $S$ by a regular right congruence (maximal)…
Idempotent elements play a fundamental role in ring theory, as they encode significant information about the underlying algebraic structure. In this paper, we study idempotent matrices from two perspectives. First, we analyze the partially…
Injective modules play an important role in characterizing different classes of rings (e.g. Noetherian rings, semisimple rings). Some semirings have no non-zero injective semimodules (e.g. the semiring of non-negative integers). In this…
Let $G$ be a group. A ring $R$ is called a graded ring (or $G$-graded ring) if there exist additive subgroups $R_{\alpha }$ of $R$ indexed by the elements $\alpha \in G$ such that $R=\bigoplus_{\alpha \in G}R_{\alpha }$ and $R_{\alpha…
Let R be a commutative ring with unity, M a module over R and let S be a G-set for a finite group G. We define a set MS to be the set of elements expressed as the formal finite sum of the form similar to the elements of group ring RG. The…
We consider various decision problems for automatic semigroups, which involve the provision of an automatic structure as part of the problem instance. With mild restrictions on the automatic structure, which seem to be necessary to make the…
In this paper, we are mainly interested in the two questions "which are the commutative rings on which every finitely presented modules is [Formula: see text]-periodic (respectively, [Formula: see text]-periodic)?". It is proved that these…
The aim of this article is to solve the system $XA=Y$ where $A=(a_{ij})\in M_{m\times n}(S)$, $Y\in S^{m}$ and $X$ is an unknown vector of size $n$, being $S$ an additively idempotent semiring. If the system has solutions then we completely…
