Idempotent Mathematics And Mathematical Physics: International Workshop, February 3-10, 2003, Erwin Schrodinger International Institute For ... Vienna, Austria

After an introduction on Maslov dequantization, idempotent and tropical mathematics by Litvinov, these proceedings from the workshop of February 2003, include such topics as discrete max-plus spectral theory, combinatorial aspects of max-algebra, max-plus convex sets and functions, the dequantization transform and generalized Newton polytopes, applications of generated pseudo-analysis to nonlinear partial differential equations, first steps in tropical geometry, viscosity solutions on Langrangian manifolds and connections with tunneling operators, and solution of some max-separable optimization problems with inequality constraints.
