By a topological semiring we mean a Hausdorff space S together with two continuous associative operations on S such that one (called multiplication) distributes across the other (called addition). That is, we insist that for all x, y and z in S. Note that, in contrast to the purely algebraic situation [1,2], we do not postulate the existence of an additive identity which is a multiplicative zero.
