Interval multi-linear systems for tensors in the max-plus algebra and their application in solving the job shop problem
In this paper, we propose the notions of the max-plus algebra of the interval tensors, which can be used for the extension of interval linear systems to interval multi-linear systems in the max-plus algebra. Some properties and basic results of interval multi-linear systems in max-plus algebra are derived. An algorithm is developed for computing a solution of the multi-linear systems in the max-plus algebra. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the interval multi-linear systems for weak solvability...
