Various Computational Intelligences Based on Max-Plus Algebraic Structure and their Applications

Abstract

Various computational intelligences are formulated based on max-plus algebra which is composed of max and standard addition operations. They are essentially suitable for discrete information processing compared with the ordinal algebra. This paper introduces various computational intelligences based on max-plus algebra, i.e., cellular automata, percolation, and multi-agent system and complex network. As their applications, the traffic flow simulation, forest fire, and epidemic simulation are shown.
