Monoid valuations and value ordered supervaluations

Abstract

We complement two papers on supertropical valuation theory ([IKR1], [IKR2]) by providing natural examples of m-valuations (= monoid valuations), after that of supervaluations and transmissions between them. The supervaluations discussed have values in totally ordered supertropical semirings, and the transmissions discussed respect the orderings. Basics of a theory of such semirings and transmissions are developed as far as needed.
