Abstract

The topics of this paper are matrix factorizations and the minimal state space realization problem in the max-plus algebra, which is one of the modeling frameworks that can be used to model discrete event systems. We present a heuristic algorithm to compute a factorization of a matrix in the max-plus algebra. Next we use this algorithm to determine the minimal system order (and to construct a minimal state space realization) of a max-linear time-invariant discrete event system.
