This block sets up a small max-plus (tropical) elimination framework with two variables and a constant slot, and then records three explicit states. Coefficients lie in the reals with a bottom element ⊥ (WithBot ℝ), a form is a triple of coefficients (columns 0 and 1 for the two variables, column 2 for the constant), and eval(f,w) is the max over k of f(k)+w(k). A row is a pair of forms (lhs, rhs), and a state consists of two rows, a cost form and a predicate saying which variables remain. wellFormed requires that every eliminated variable has coefficient ⊥ in the cost and in both sides of both rows; feasible w means eval(rhs)≤eval(lhs) for each row. For a row i and variable j, lower means the lhs coefficient of j is not ⊥ and the rhs coefficient is strictly smaller, and upper is the mirror condition; dominating j means j remains and has both a lower row and an upper row; eligible(i,j) means j remains, row i is lower for j, and if some variable is dominating then j is dominating. bounded says each remaining variable has a lower or an upper row. stop means rhs(2)≤lhs(2) in every row. switch means all remaining variables have cost ⊥, stop fails, some variable remains, no remaining variable has a lower row, and some remaining variable has an upper row. failure means stop fails and either no variable remains or no remaining variable has a lower row or an upper row. The elimination step uses lowerForm (the rhs of row i shifted by minus the lhs coefficient of j, read as 0 if ⊥, with column j set to ⊥), substitute f j g (column j becomes ⊥, other columns k become max(f k, f(j)+g k)), and cleanup (a row whose rhs is coordinatewise at most its lhs is replaced by the null row with all ⊥). advance(s,i,j) substitutes lowerForm into both sides of every row and into the cost, cleans up the rows, and removes j from the remaining variables. ForcedSingletonStep(s,s',i,j) holds when s and s' are well formed, s is bounded, not stop, not switch and not failure, (i,j) is the unique eligible pair, the substituted cost has some non-⊥ coordinate, and s'=advance(s,i,j). The explicit states are: initial, with row 0 being max(x₀,x₁) versus the constant 0, row 1 being x₀ versus max(1+x₁, −2+constant), cost x₀, and both variables remaining; middle, with row 0 null, row 1 being x₀ versus the constant 1, cost x₀, and only variable 0 remaining; and finalState, with null rows, cost equal to the constant 1, and no variable remaining. crossRowRestriction(s) says that for any two distinct rows i≠r and every real α there is a w with eval(lhs of i)(w) < α + eval(rhs of r)(w). Finally, output=(1,0,0) and better=(0,−1,0) are named vectors. The block contains only definitions, with no stated theorem about them.
