In the present release, alterations of the original text are mild and need no special mention: they concern typographic style (which may result in a different pagination with respect to the original paper ...
However, this requires an algebraic foundation which appeals to isomorphisms, quotients of dioids by congruences and residuation theory. ...

Max-Plus-Linear Systems for Modeling and Control of Manufacturing Problems
[chapter]
2017
Mathematics in Industry
Second, standard open-loop and closed-loop control structures for (max, +)-linear systems are recalled. ...
First, we discuss the modeling of such systems by linear statespace models in the (max, +)-algebra (due to this property, such systems are often called (max, +)-linear systems). ...
Dioid Theory Dioids (or idempotent semirings) are algebraic structures which play a major role in the modeling of (max, +)-linear systems.

Switched Max-Plus Linear-Dual Inequalities: Application in Scheduling of Multi-Product Processing Networks
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
P-time event graphs are discrete event systems suitable for modeling processes in which tasks must be executed in predefined time windows. ...
We define a new class of models called switched LDIs (SLDIs), which allow to switch between different modes of operations, each corresponding to an LDI, according to an infinite sequence of modes called ...
This would imply that SLDIs can be used to represent and solve scheduling problems for systems modeled by safe P-time Petri nets (cf. Komenda et al. [2020] ). ...

2014
arXiv
pre-print
The modal operators of concurrent dynamic algebra are obtained from abstract axioms for domain and antidomain operators; the Kleene star is modelled as a least fixpoint. ...
Algebraic variants of Peleg's axioms are shown to be valid in these algebras and their soundness is proved relative to the multirelational model. ...

In particular, it gives a foundation for the analysis of programs that concurrently access relaxed memory as shown in subsequent work. ...
Concurrent Kleene Algebra (CKA) is a recently proposed algebraic structure by Hoare and collaborators that unifies the laws of concurrent programming. ...
The fact that all these works use partial orders to describe the dependency between events means that there is a close connection to the unfolding of petri nets to occurrence nets, an active research area ...
