# Abstract:

Max-min algebra is an algebraic structure in which classical addition and multiplication are replaced by $\oplus$ and $\kr$, where $a\oplus b=\max\{a,b\}, a\kr b=\min\{a,b\}$. The notation $\mbf{A}\kr \mbf{x}=\mbf{b}$ represents an interval system of linear equations, where $\mbf{A}=[\pA,\nA]$, $\mbf{b}=[\pb,\nb]$ are given interval matrix and interval vector, respectively, and a solution is from a given interval vector $\mbf{x}=[\px,\nx]$. We define six types of solvability of max-min interval systems with bounded solution and give necessary and sufficient conditions for them.
