On the problem $$Ax= \lambda Bx$$ in max algebra: Every system of intervals is a spectrum.(English)Zbl 1248.15023

In max algebras, a very important problem is the eigenproblem. There exist efficient algorithms for computing both eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The present paper deals with the two-sided generalized eigenproblem over a max algebra which does not seem to be well-known unlike the eigenproblem. The spectrum may include intervals and it is proved that any finite system of real intervals can be represented as spectrum of this eigenproblem.
