A semiring (S, +,·) is a nonempty set S, endowed with associative operations of addition and multiplication, such that the multiplicative semigroup (S, ·) distributes over the addition. That is: x(y +z) = xy + xz and (x + y)z = xz + yz for all x, y and z in S. A topological semiring is a semiring, defined on a Hausdorff space, such that both of the operations are jointly continuous.
