We introduce tropical singular intersection homologies (non-GM and GM) with the tropical coefficients on rational polyhedral spaces using their filtrations. We investigate their fundamental properties. In the non-GM case, we give a…
An $n$-cap in $k$-dimensional projective space is a set of $n$ points so that no three lie on a line. In this note, we provide an algorithm to count the number of $n$-caps in $\mathbb{P}^3(\mathbb{F}_q)$, which follows from our recent paper…
In this work, we examine the process of Tropical Polynomial Division, a geometric method which seeks to emulate the division of regular polynomials, when applied to those of the max-plus semiring. This is done via the approximation of the…
We establish central limit theorems for natural volumes of random inscribed polytopes in projective Riemannian or Finsler geometries. In addition, normal approximation of dual volumes and the mean width of random polyhedral sets are…
The intrinsic volumes of Gaussian polytopes are considered. A lower variance bound for these quantities is proved, showing that, under suitable normalization, the variances converge to strictly positive limits. The implications of this…
We consider the problem of approximating a semialgebraic set with a sublevel-set of a polynomial function. In this setting, it is standard to seek a minimum volume outer approximation and/or maximum volume inner approximation. As there is…
The n'th Birkhoff polytope is the set of all doubly stochastic n-by-n matrices, that is, those matrices with nonnegative real coefficients in which every row and column sums to one. A wide open problem concerns the volumes of these…
We describe the computation of polytope volumes by descent in the face lattice, its implementation in Normaliz, and the connection to reverse-lexicographic triangulations. The efficiency of the algorithm is demonstrated by several high…

Tropical implicitization means computing the tropicalization of a unirational variety from its parametrization. In the case of a hypersurface, this amounts to finding the Newton polytope of the implicit equation, without computing its…
For $i = 0, 1, \ldots, n$, let $C_i$ be independent and identically distributed random variables with distribution $F$ with support $(0,\infty)$. The number of zeros of the random tropical polynomials $\mathcal{T}f_n(x) =…
This article concerns the computational problem of counting the lattice points inside convex polytopes, when each point must be counted with a weight associated to it. We describe an efficient algorithm for computing the highest degree…
A new intrinsic volume metric is introduced for the class of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application, an inequality is proved for the asymptotic best approximation of the Euclidean unit ball by arbitrarily positioned polytopes…
Tropical mathematics is used to establish a correspondence between certain microscopic and macroscopic objects in statistical models. Tropical algebra gives a common framework for macrosystems (subsets) and their elementary constituents…
We tackle the problem of efficiently approximating the volume of convex polytopes, when these are given in three different representations: H-polytopes, which have been studied extensively, V-polytopes, and zonotopes (Z-polytopes). We…
We introduce tropical Newton-Puiseux polynomials admitting rational exponents. A resolution of a tropical hypersurface is defined by means of a tropical Newton-Puiseux polynomial. A polynomial complexity algorithm for resolubility of a…
We consider tropical hemispaces, defined as tropically convex sets whose complements are also tropically convex, and tropical semispaces, defined as maximal tropically convex sets not containing a given point. We introduce the concept of…
Let $X_1,\ldots,X_N$, $N>n$, be independent random points in $\mathbb{R}^n$, distributed according to the so-called beta or beta-prime distribution, respectively. We establish threshold phenomena for the volume, intrinsic volumes, or more…
We present numerical simulations that allow us to compute the number of ways in which $N$ particles can pack into a given volume $V$. Our technique modifies the method of Xu et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 245502 (2011)) and outperforms…
Polytope numbers for a given polytope are an integer sequence defined by the combinatorics of the polytope. Recent work by H. K. Kim and J. Y. Lee has focused on writing polytope number sequences as sums of simplex number sequences. In…
