“…The closure operation for matrix semirings Mat n (S) can be defined and computed in terms of the closure operation for S (see Subsection 11.3 above); some methods are described in [1,2,7,14,15,[26][27][28][29]33,37,51,59,83,84,87]. One such method is described below (LDM-factorization), see [45].…”
