Added link to follow-up question

| Dec 25, 2022 at 20:30 | comment | added | Oussema | You're right. I thought the questions were sufficiently related to not deserve two seperate posts. I will do what you advise. | |
| Dec 25, 2022 at 20:10 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @Oussema The question you ask at the end is rather different from your "second question" and even more different from the title. On MO, people tend to prefer it if you ask one question at a time. It might be best if you post an answer to your first question ("first paper") here (perhaps making it community wiki), accept it, and then post a separate MO question asking for a survey. | |

added explanation for second question

| Dec 25, 2022 at 15:51 | comment | added | Benjamin Steinberg | I think the paper of Simon I linked above gives a good history of the computer science aspect. I don't really know the history of the geometric part | |
| Dec 25, 2022 at 14:08 | comment | added | Benjamin Steinberg | Simon's paper is likely the first at least to make serious use and it was in theoretical computer science to study star height and limitedness | |

Clarified the question

| Dec 25, 2022 at 13:28 | comment | added | Benjamin Steinberg | The name tropical semiring was coined in honor of Imre (who worked in Brazil) by the French computer scientist Choffrut I believe. Imre was interested in automata theory and the star height problem. He didn't have anything to do with applications in geometry. | |
