Perfect Semiring of Nonnegative Matrices

In this paper, it is shown that the semiring of nonnegative matrices satisfies descending chain condition on right and left ideals, i.e., it is left or right perfect if and only if it is closed under Drazin inverse of all elements. Furthermore, each nonni

Foreword

The success of a conference has to be evaluated by the quality of the scientific presentations and the ability of the organizers to publish the proceedings. If this is the yardstick used, I reckon the International Conference on Combinatorial Matrix Theory and Generalized Inverses of Matrices makes the grade easily. I congratulate the Department of Statistics, Manipal University, on the successful conduct of the conference and the publication of the proceedings. Manipal, India
