This paper extends the concept of tropical tensor product defined by Butkovic and Fiedler to general idempotent dioids. Then, it proposes an algorithm in order to solve the fixed-point type Sylvester matrix equations of the form X = A â X â X â B â C. An application is discussed in efficiently solving the minimum cardinality path problem in Cartesian product graphs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
