The paper expands the theory of quadratic forms on modules over a semiring R, introduced in [12]-[14], especially in the setup of tropical and supertropical algebra. Isometric linear maps induce subordination on quadratic forms, and provide…
Supertropical matrix theory was investigated in [6], whose terminology we follow. In this work we investigate eigenvalues, characteristic polynomials and coefficients of characteristic polynomials of supertropical matrices and their powers,…
We complement two papers on supertropical valuation theory ([IKR1],[IKR2]) by providing natural examples of m-valuations (= monoid valuations), after that of supervaluations and transmissions between them. The supervaluations discussed have…
The concept of multialgebraic structure -- an "algebraic like" structure but endowed with multiple valued operations -- has been studied since the 1930's; in particular, the concept of hyperrings was introduced by Krasner in the 1950's.…
Sparse polynomial systems with vertical coefficient dependencies arise naturally when describing the critical points of optimization problems and, when augmented with linear forms, the steady states of chemical reaction networks. Moreover,…
In this paper we introduce a model theoretic construction for the theories of uniform layered domains and semifields introduced in the paper of Izhakian, Knebusch and Rowen. We prove that, for a given layering semiring L, the theory of…
The eigenvalues of a matrix polynomial can be determined classically by solving a generalized eigenproblem for a linearized matrix pencil, for instance by writing the matrix polynomial in companion form. We introduce a general scaling…
We investigate border ranks of twisted powers of polynomials and smoothability of symmetric powers of algebras. We prove that the latter are smoothable. For the former, we obtain upper bounds for the border rank in general and prove that…
We construct and study a class of algebras associated to generalized layered graphs, i.e. directed graphs with a ranking function on their vertices. Each finite directed acyclic graph admits countably many structures of a generalized…
Let $K$ be a field equipped with a valuation. Tropical varieties over $K$ can be defined with a theory of Gr{\"o}bner bases taking into account the valuation of $K$.Because of the use of the valuation, the theory of tropical Gr{\"o}bner…
Let $K$ be a real closed field with a nontrivial non-archimedean absolute value. We study a refined version of the tropicalization map, which we call real tropicalization map, that takes into account the signs on $K$. We study images of…
We present two effective tools for computing the positive tropicalization of algebraic varieties. First, we outline conditions under which the initial ideal can be used to compute the positive tropicalization, offering a real analogue to…
Affine Bruhat--Tits buildings are geometric spaces extracting the combinatorics of algebraic groups. The building of $\mathrm{PGL}$ parametrizes flags of subspaces/lattices in or, equivalently, norms on a fixed finite-dimensional vector…
We study the algebraic structure of the semigroup of all $2 \times 2$ tropical matrices under multiplication. Using ideas from tropical geometry, we give a complete description of Green's relations and the idempotents and maximal subgroups…
We give an overview of recently implemented polymake features for computations in tropical geometry. The main focus is on explicit examples rather than technical explanations. Our computations employ tropical hypersurfaces, moduli of…
We study the geometry of tropical extensions of hyperfields, including the ordinary, signed and complex tropical hyperfields. We introduce the framework of 'enriched valuations' as hyperfield homomorphisms to tropical extensions, and show…
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…
We study the subgroup structure of the semigroup of finitary tropical matrices under multiplication. We show that every maximal subgroup is isomorphic to the full linear automorphism group of a related tropical polytope, and that each of…
New hyperfields, that is fields in which addition is multivalued, are introduced and studied. In a separate paper these hyperfields are shown to provide a base for the tropical geometry. The main hyperfields considered here are classical…
Extending earlier work on supertropical adjoints and applying symmetrization, we provide a symmetric supertropical version $\operatorname {SLS}_n$ of the special linear group, which we partition into submonoids, based on "quasi-identity"…
