($\oplus$, $\otimes$) is a semiring. If $\otimes$ = +, what are the possible operators $\oplus$?

Assume that ($\oplus$, $\otimes$) is a semiring over the positive reals.

If $\otimes$ is +, what are the possible operators for $\oplus$?

So far I have proven that max, min, and softmax (logsumexp) are solutions. Can we characterize all possible $\oplus$?
