On pseudo-inverses of matrices and their characteristic polynomials in supertropical algebra

Abstract

The only invertible matrices in tropical algebra are diagonal matrices, permutation matrices and their products. However, the pseudo-inverse A ∇ , defined as 1 det(A) adj(A), with det(A) being the tropical permanent (also called the tropical determinant) of a matrix A, inherits some classical algebraic properties and has some surprising new ones. Defining B and B to be tropically similar if B = A ∇ BA, we examine the characteristic (max-)polynomials of tropically similar matrices as well as those of pseudo-inverses. Other miscellaneous results include a new proof of the identity for det(AB) and a connection to stabilization of the powers of definite matrices.
