We consider a binary classifier defined as the sign of a tropical rational function, that is, as the difference of two convex piecewise linear functions. The parameter space of ReLU neural networks is contained as a semialgebraic set inside…

In this paper we use the superpotential for the flag variety $GL_n/B$ and particular coordinate systems that we call ideal coordinates for $\mathbf{i}$, to construct polytopes $\mathcal{P}^{\mathbf{i}}_\lambda$ inside $\mathbb{R}^{R_+}$,…

We generalise the notion of Gr\"obner fan to ideals in R[[t]][x_1,...,x_n] for certain classes of coefficient rings R and give a constructive proof that the Gr\"obner fan is a rational polyhedral fan. For this we introduce the notion of…

We investigate location problems whose optimum lies in the tropical convex hull of the input points. Firstly, we study geodesically star-convex sets under the asymmetric tropical distance and introduce the class of tropically quasiconvex…
