Abstract:
(min,+)-algebra and analysis are particular and interesting fields of the so-called tropical and idempotent mathematics,
and find their roots in theoretical informatics and computer sciences, particularly in operations research and automation.
This has been, and is still a very productive and rich approach in pure and applied mathematics, in physics, informatics and engineering sciences.
One proposes to introduce this mathematical framework and to exhibit a new class of non-linear wavelets,
very efficient to perform multi-resolution analysis, to handle fractal and multi-fractal phenomena such as turbulence,
and which is a promising tool to improve image processing for instance. %In a second step, one shows a complex variational calculus based on
(min,+) analysis and apply it on the well-known Born-Infeld problem in electrodynamics.
