چکیده

This is a foundational paper in tropical linear algebra, which is linear algebra over the min-plus semiring. We compare three natural definitions of the rank of a matrix, called the Barvinok rank, the Kapranov rank and the tropical rank, and we show that they differ in general. Connections to polyhedral geometry, particularly to subdivisions of products of simplices, are emphasized.

Face Recognition Based Rank Reduction SVD Approach

Standard face recognition algorithms that use standard feature extraction techniques always suffer from image performance degradation. Recently, singular value decomposition and low-rank matrix are applied in many applications,including pattern recognition and feature extraction. The main objective of this research is to design an efficient face recognition approach by combining many tech...

The Tropical Rank of a Tropical Matrix

In this paper we further develop the theory of matrices over the extended tropical semiring. Introducing a notion of tropical linear dependence allows for a natural definition of matrix rank in a sense that coincides with the notions of tropical regularity and invertibility.

A novel three-stage distance-based consensus ranking method

In this study, we propose a three-stage weighted sum method for identifying the group ranks of alternatives. In the first stage, a rank matrix, similar to the cross-efficiency matrix, is obtained by computing the individual rank position of each alternative based on importance weights. In the second stage, a secondary goal is defined to limit the vector of weights since the vector of weights ob...

Higher rank numerical ranges of rectangular matrix polynomials

In this paper, the notion of rank-k numerical range of rectangular complex matrix polynomials are introduced. Some algebraic and geometrical properties are investigated. Moreover, for ϵ > 0; the notion of Birkhoff-James approximate orthogonality sets for ϵ-higher rank numerical ranges of rectangular matrix polynomials is also introduced and studied. The proposed denitions yield a natural genera...
