Tropical SemiringsTropical Semirings, Jean-Éric Pin. Idempotency 1994.
In the previous post, Ohad Kammar asked for some more examples of why we should care about adjunctions, which reminded me of one of my favorite examples. You can understand solving many optimization problems as looking for a Galois connection between your problem and the tropical semiring. (Galois connections in general are one of the sources of the program derivation superpowers of the Squiggolists. So if you want to prove programs like Shin Cheng-Mu does, it's worth understanding!) |
