A novel way to use SMT (Satisfiability Modulo Theories) solvers to compute the tropical prevariety (resp. equilibrium) of a polynomial system is presented. The new method is benchmarked against a naive approach that uses purely polyhedral…

We study tropical line arrangements associated to a three-regular graph $G$ that we refer to as \emph{tropical graph curves}. Roughly speaking, the tropical graph curve associated to $G$, whose genus is $g$, is an arrangement of $2g-2$…

In this article, we look into the tree gonality of genus $3$ metric graphs $\Gamma$ which is defined as the minimum of degrees of all tropical morphisms from any tropical modification of $\Gamma$ to any metric tree. It is denoted by…

We introduce quivers of valuated matroids and study their tropical parameter spaces. We define quiver Dressians, which parametrize containment of tropical linear spaces after tropical matrix multiplication, and show that tropicalizations of…

For certain tropical quartic curves the existing techniques could not predict the lifting behavior of their bitangents over the real numbers. We close this gap by using patchworking techniques. Further, this paper provides an analysis of…

Let $K$ be a field equipped with a valuation. Tropical varieties over $K$ can be defined with a theory of Gr\"obner bases taking into account the valuation of $K$. Because of the use of the valuation, this theory is promising for stable…

We provide some new local obstructions to approximating tropical curves in smooth tropical surfaces. These obstructions are based on the relation between tropical and complex intersection theories which is also established here. We give two…

In this paper we bring together tropical linear algebra and convex 3-dimensional bodies. We show how certain convex 3-dimensional bodies having 20 vertices and 12 facets can be encoded in a $4\times 4$ integer zero-diagonal matrix $A$. A…

We define transversal tropical triangles (affine and projective) and characterize them via six inequalities to be satisfied by the coordinates of the vertices. We prove that the vertices of a transversal tropical triangle are tropically…

Let $\mathbf{v}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{v}_m$ be points in a metric space with distance $d$, and let $w_1,\ldots,w_m$ be positive real weights. The weighted Fermat-Weber points are those points $\mathbf{x}$ which minimize $\sum w_i d(\mathbf{v}_i,…

This is a guide on how to create 3d printable models of tropical surfaces, curves, and combinations thereof. It uses Polymake to construct bounded models of the tropical objects, and OpenSCAD to thicken and export them to any common 3D…

Polytropes are both ordinary and tropical polytopes. We show that tropical types of polytropes in $\mathbb{TP}^{n-1}$ are in bijection with cones of a certain Gr\"{o}bner fan $\mathcal{GF}_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n^2 - n}$ restricted to a small…

This paper supplements [17], showing that categorically the layered theory is the same as the theory of ordered monoids (e.g. the max-plus algebra) used in tropical mathematics. A layered theory is developed in the context of categories,…
