Abstract
Let a planar algebraic curve be defined over a valuation field by an equation . Valuations of the coefficients of define a subdivision of the Newton polygon of the curve . If a given point is of multiplicity for , then the coefficients of are subject to certain linear constraints. These constraints can be visualized on the above subdivision of . Namely, we find a distinguished collection of faces of the above subdivision, with total area at least . In a sense, the union of these faces in "the region of influence" of the singular point on the subdivision of . Also, we discuss three different definitions of a tropical point of multiplicity .
