Semigroup identities in the monoid of triangular tropical matrices

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show that the submonoid of all n×n triangular tropical matrices satisfies a nontrivial semigroup identity and provide a generic construction for classes of such identities. The utilization of the Fibonacci number formula gives us an upper bound on the length of these 2-variable semigroup identities.
