A similarity canonical form for max-plus matrices and its eigenproblem

Rings and Algebras 2025-03-12 v1

Abstract

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for matrices in the max-plus algebra to be pseudo-diagonalizable, calculate the powers of pseudo-diagonal matrices and prove the invariance of optimal-node matrices and separable matrices under similarity. As an application, we determine the eigenvalues and eigenspaces of pseudo-diagonalizable matrices.
