Merge?

Any reason why this shouldn't be merged into tropical geometry? —David Eppstein 02:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- They are distinct enough ideas in the literature to warrant a separate page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Forwardmeasure (talk • contribs)
Currently tropical arithmetic redirects to tropical geometry. Maybe this should get moved to tropical arithmetic. Michael Hardy (talk) 00:24, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
- Relatedly, the tropical geometry article uses the min-plus convention while this uses max-plus. Is there a good reason for the inconsistency? —David Eppstein (talk) 00:30, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
I've merged this to Tropical geometry, then moved it to Tropical semiring (linking to Tropical semiring#max-plus algebra) in Old revision of Tropical geometry and Old revision of Tropical semiring. This page had no independent content beyond a few lines on applications to timing, despite 10 years of history; it's just a name. I moved the applications to tropical analysis in Old revision of Tropical analysis. This required making algebra/analysis pages, since the applications here were not strictly tropical geometry.

I propose to use a lowercase letter to denote a scalar and to use an uppercase letter to denote a matrix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diekyadzkiya (talk • contribs) 14:16, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
