The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interplay arising between max algebra, convexity and scaling problems. The latter, which have been studied in nonnegative matrix theory, are strongly related to max algebra. One problem is…

We study the relationship between min-plus, max-plus and Euclidean convexity for subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We introduce a construction which associates to any max-plus convex set with compact projectivisation a canonical matrix called its…

Semimodules over idempotent semirings like the max-plus or tropical semiring have much in common with convex cones. This analogy is particularly apparent in the case of subsemimodules of the n-fold cartesian product of the max-plus semiring…

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…

Convolution algebras on maps from structures such as monoids, groups or categories into semirings, rings or fields abound in mathematics and the sciences. Of special interest in computing are convolution algebras based on variants of Kleene…

The concept of separation by hyperplanes is fundamental for convex geometry and its tropical (max-plus) analogue. However, analogous separation results in max-min convex geometry are based on semispaces. This paper answers the question…

In this paper we give a short, elementary proof of a known result in tropical mathematics, by which the convexity of the column span of a zero--diagonal real matrix $A$ is characterized by $A$ being a Kleene star. We give applications to…

Tropical Geometry and Mathematical Morphology share the same max-plus and min-plus semiring arithmetic and matrix algebra. In this chapter we summarize some of their main ideas and common (geometric and algebraic) structure, generalize and…

This is a survey on an analogue of tropical convexity developed over the max-min semiring, starting with the descriptions of max-min segments, semispaces, hyperplanes and an account of separation and non-separation results based on…

We develop the max-plus finite element method to solve finite horizon deterministic optimal control problems. This method, that we introduced in a previous work, relies on a max-plus variational formulation, and exploits the properties of…

Consider a polyhedral convex cone which is given by a finite number of linear inequalities. We investigate the problem to project this cone into a subspace and show that this problem is closely related to linear vector optimization: We…

Given a set S endowed with a convexity structure, a hemispace is a convex subset of S which has convex complement. We recall that R^n_{max} is a semimodule over the max-plus semifield. A convexity structure of current interest is provided…

The Max-Cut polytope appears in the formulation of many difficult combinatorial optimization problems. These problems can also be formulated as optimization problems over the so-called trigonometric approximation which possesses an…

We introduce a notion of dimension of max-min convex sets, following the approach of tropical convexity. We introduce a max-min analogue of the tropical rank of a matrix and show that it is equal to the dimension of the associated polytope.…

We extend the definition and construct several bases for polylogarithms Li T , where T are some series, recognizable by a finite state (multiplicity) automaton of alphabet 4 X = {x 0 , x 1 }. The kernel of this new "polylogarithmic map" Li…

Problems related to projections on closed convex cones are frequently encountered in optimization theory and related fields. To study these problems, various unifying ideas have been introduced, including asymmetric vector-valued norms and…

Maximal $(k+1)$-crossing-free graphs on a planar point set in convex position, that is, $k$-triangulations, have received attention in recent literature, with motivation coming from several interpretations of them. We introduce a new way of…

Vector optimization problems are a generalization of multiobjective optimization in which the preference order is related to an arbitrary closed and convex cone, rather than the nonnegative octant. Due to its real life applications, it is…

Finite quasi semimetrics on $n$ can be thought of as nonnegative valuations on the edges of a complete directed graph on $n$ vertices satisfying all possible triangle inequalities. They comprise a polyhedral cone whose symmetry groups were…

Integration over curved manifolds with higher codimension and, separately, discrete variants of continuous operators, have been two important, yet separate themes in harmonic analysis, discrete geometry and analytic number theory research.…
