Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of finding the generators of the solution space for a system of inequalities \(A\otimes \mathbf{x }\ge \mathbf{x }\) in max-plus algebra. It provides an improved algorithm which can be used to find a smaller set of generators for the solution space by skipping a large number of invalid generators.
