Abstract: In this talk we will discuss polynomials over max-plus semiring and their roots. Max-plus polynomial is basically a piece-wise linear convex function and the roots are points of non-smoothness of the function. We will discuss analogs of Combinatorial Nullstellensatz, Schwartz-Zippel Lemma and Universal Testing Set for max-plus polynomials.

The talk is aimed at the general audience.
