Integration in semirings
Abstract
The concept of integral as an inverse to that of derivation was already introduced for rings and recently also for lattices. Since semirings generalize both rings and bounded distributive lattices, it is natural to investigate integration in semirings. This is our aim in the present paper. We show properties of such integrals from the point of view of semiring operations. Examples of semirings with derivation where integrals are introduced are presented in the paper. These illuminate rather specific properties of such integrals. We show when the set of all integrals on a given semiring forms a semiring again.
