Semirings and their Applications

Focusing on the advancements in semiring theory, this revised edition significantly expands on its predecessor, incorporating recent developments and applications in areas like idempotent analysis and discrete-event dynamical systems. While maintaining the original structure, the text has been extensively rewritten to enhance clarity and depth. An extensive collection of examples is included to spark interest in practical applications, along with a comprehensive index of citations for further exploration. This makes it a valuable resource for both theoretical and applied mathematics.
