Abstract
We show that the answer to the Burnside problem is positive for semigroups of matrices with entries in the (max,+)-algebra (that is, the semiring (ℝ∪{−∞},max,+)), and also for semigroups of (max,+)-linear projective maps with rational entries. An application to the estimation of the Lyapunov exponent of certain products of random matrices is also discussed.
