Abstract

In this paper we focus on the tropical convex hull of convex sets and polyhedral complexes. We give a vertex description of the tropical convex hull of a line segment and a ray. %in \RR^{n+1}/\RR\mathbf{1}. Next we show that tropical convex hull and ordinary convex hull commute in two dimensions and characterize tropically convex polyhedra in any dimension. %R3/R1\mathbb{R}^3/\mathbb {R}\mathbf{1}. Finally we show that the dimension of a tropically convex fan depends on the coordinates of its rays and give a lower bound on the degree of a fan tropical curve using only tropical techniques.
