## Solving systems of two-sided (max, min)-linear equations.(English)Zbl 1195.65037

Summary: A finite iteration method for solving systems of (max, min)-linear equations is presented. The systems have variables on both sides of the equations. The algorithm has polynomial complexity and may be extended to wider classes of equations with a similar structure.
