contents The tropical semiring is a semiring of extended real numbers, where the operations of `max' and `+' replace the usual addition and multiplication, respectively. Difference equations obtained from the ultradiscrete limit of discrete dynamical systems are described in terms of the tropical semiring. We propose a tropical linearization approach for the stability analysis of difference equations, including those describing ulradiscrete dynamical systems. We show that the fixed point at the tropical origin is asymptotically stable if the maximum eigenvalue of the tropical Jacobian matrix is negative. On the other hand, it is unstable if the maximum eigenvalue of the tropical Jacobian matrix is positive. Since $0$ is the tropical multiplicative identity, these results are analogous to those in the usual linearization process.
