SYNOPSIS

Outline:

- short reminder of the parallel timeline of development of

matrices and set theory, by leading mathematicians as Cayley,

Sylvester, Jordan, Hilbert for matrices, and mainly Cantor for

set theory

- where Matrices of Sets appear, in the fringe of Graph Theory

- an operative framework for Matrices of Sets emulating the

operative framework of Classical Matrices

- deriving the well-known Classical Matrices operations from the

newly established framework of Matrices of Sets

- developing a new approach for eigenvalue/eigenvector outside

of linear spaces, for matrices and vectors of sets

- building polynomials of Matrices of Sets

- first application fields:

-- Logistics in multimodal transport: optimal routing of

containerised freight

-- Maritime Economics
