The divisor theory for graphs is compared to the theory of linear series on curves through the correspondence associating a curve to its dual graph. An algebro-geometric interpretation of the combinatorial rank is proposed, and proved in…
We examine a multidimensional optimisation problem in the tropical mathematics setting. The problem involves the minimisation of a nonlinear function defined on a finite-dimensional semimodule over an idempotent semifield subject to linear…
In this paper we further develop the theory of matrices over the extended tropical semiring. Introducing a notion of tropical linear dependence allows for a natural definition of matrix rank in a sense that coincides with the notions of…
We enumerate rational curves in toric surfaces passing through points and satisfying cross-ratio constraints using tropical and combinatorial methods. Our starting point is arXiv:1509.07453, where a tropical-algebraic correspondence theorem…
We find a relation between mixed volumes of several polytopes and the convex hull of their union, deducing it from the following fact: the mixed volume of a collection of polytopes only depends on the product of their support functions…
In this paper we study an emerging class of neural networks based on the morphological operators of dilation and erosion. We explore these networks mathematically from a tropical geometry perspective as well as mathematical morphology. Our…
In the tropical projective torus, it is not guaranteed that the projection of a Fermat-Weber point of a given data set is a Fermat-Weber point of the projection of the data set. In this paper, we focus on the projection on the tropical…
We consider multidimensional optimization problems in the framework of tropical mathematics. The problems are formulated to minimize a nonlinear objective function that is defined on vectors over an idempotent semifield and calculated by…
We address the problem of existence of refined (i.e., depending on a formal parameter) tropical enumerative invariants, and we present two new examples of a refined count of rational marked tropical curves. One of the new invariants counts…
The notions of convexity and convex polytopes are introduced in the setting of tropical geometry. Combinatorial types of tropical polytopes are shown to be in bijection with regular triangulations of products of two simplices. Applications…
A degeneration of a smooth projective curve to a strongly stable curve gives rise to a specialization map from divisors on curves to divisors on graphs. In this paper we show that this specialization behaves well under the presence of real…
We construct a general framework for tropical differential equations based on idempotent semirings and an idempotent version of differential algebra. Over a differential ring equipped with a non-archimedean norm enhanced with additional…
A brief introduction to tropical and idempotent mathematics (with an emphasys on idempotent functional analysis) is presented. Applications to classical mechanics and geometry are especially examined.
An extension $(V,d)$ of a metric space $(S,\mu)$ is a metric space with $S \subseteq V$ and $d|_S = \mu$, and is said to be tight if there is no other extension $(V,d')$ of $(S,\mu)$ with $d' \leq d$. Isbell and Dress independently found…
We consider discrete best approximation problems in the setting of tropical algebra, which is concerned with the theory and application of algebraic systems with idempotent operations. Given a set of input--output pairs of an unknown…
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…
Proves that if a curve has totally split reduction and the corresponding skeleton (as a metric graph) is a chain of loops with generic edge lengths, then every divisor on the graph with imposed ramification at the rightmost vertex $p$ of…
Projection theorems of divergences enable us to find reverse projection of a divergence on a specific statistical model as a forward projection of the divergence on a different but rather "simpler" statistical model, which, in turn, results…
We discuss the tropical analogues of several basic questions of convex duality. In particular, the polar of a tropical polyhedral cone represents the set of linear inequalities that its elements satisfy. We characterize the extreme rays of…
This is a survey on tropical polytopes from the combinatorial point of view and with a focus on algorithms. Tropical convexity is interesting because it relates a number of combinatorial concepts including ordinary convexity, monomial…
