Archimedean classes in additive monoids
Abstract
Summand absorbing submodules are common in modules over (additively) idempotent semirings, for example, in tropical algebra. A submodule W of V is summand absorbing, if x+y∈W implies x∈W,y∈W for any x,y∈V. This paper proceeds the study of these submodules, and more generally of additive monoids, with emphasis on their archimedean classes and quotient structures.
