=====Semirings=====

Abbreviation: **SRng**
====Definition====
A \emph{semiring} is a structure $\mathbf{S}=\langle S,+,\cdot
\rangle $ of type $\langle 2,2\rangle $ such that


$\langle S,\cdot\rangle$ is a semigroup


$\langle S,+\rangle $ is a commutative semigroup


$\cdot$ distributes over $+$:  $x\cdot(y+z)=x\cdot y+x\cdot z$, $(y+z)\cdot x=y\cdot x+z\cdot x$

==Morphisms==
Let $\mathbf{S}$ and $\mathbf{T}$ be semirings. A morphism from $\mathbf{S}$
to $\mathbf{T}$ is a function $h:S\to T$ that is a homomorphism: 

$h(x+y)=h(x)+h(y)$, $h(x\cdot y)=h(x)\cdot h(y)$
