Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied properties of difference equations on the max-plus algebra and the related cellular automaton models.
We developed a calculation method to solve the initival value problem for some higher ultradiscrete equations which are obtained by the ultradiscretization of the equations with Laurent property. We also proved that some functions expressed as valuated matroids, which are ultradiscretization of determinants, solve a equation according to the combinatorial structure of matroids.
We explained the reason of interesting phenomenon of a cellular automaton expressed as an ultradiscrete equation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ある種の超離散常差分方程式に対して初期値問題を計算するアルゴリズムを開発した際に、結果から超離散系に移行して初めて発生する現象に対して説明が与えられた。これより差分方程式系と超離散系の違いについて、ある角度から説明を与えることができた。
またマトロイドと呼ばれる組合せ論的な性質をもつ対象がどのように可積分方程式と関わるのかについて知見を得た。
セルオートマトンの解析手法についても新たな方法を提案した。この方法は力学系における手法の超離散対応物と考えることができる。これは一般の写像力学系では実現不可能なもので超離散だから実現できたものである。
