On hyperplanes and semispaces in max-min convex geometry

Viorel Nitica and Sergeĭ Sergeev

Abstract:

The concept of separation by hyperplanes and halfspaces is fundamental for convex geometry and its tropical (max-plus) analogue. However, analogous separation results in max-min convex geometry are based on semispaces. This paper answers the question which semispaces are hyperplanes and when it is possible to "classically'' separate by hyperplanes in max-min convex geometry.
